1. psu 24 pin to motherboard pwr1 yes it a must plug. - ok
2. Cpu pwr1 also a must plug in?
- never know since my last build 8 years back.
3. What cpu pwr2 then? Must or optional? When?
4. From Psu plug 8 pin to graphic - ok
5. What then motherboard have 6 pin pcie pwr1 for? From psu attach to this board Or kind of molex cable from this motherboard to graphic card?? Or optional when or why?

2. yes. must.
3. generally optional. if u have a beefy cpu and oc, it's a must. some mobo go crazy without plugging it (even without oc).
5. again, it's mainly for oc purpose and beefy pcie cards installed. plug directly from your psu.

If motherboard not enough power, pc will shut off / reboot, or just performance issue?

For pcie pwr1, choosing not plug it, perform stress test would throw results. Correct?

random shutdown / crash. please don't kill it sweat.gif
if everything is good without crash, no need to plug in.
