On my motherboard I noticed I have 2 power connectors. I have the standard oblong one and a small square one. Should both be connected or just the big oblong one?

Hi enner100

A lot more info about your computer is required to make an assessment of your situation.

If this is a Commodore 64 then the second power connector becomes a big issue.
