err i'd read the manual but i'd of thought you need to connect everything there is usually you have the 24pin and 4pin connected for sure. Not sure about the molex though

The mobo doesn't have a 4 pin 12v, other than the molex. The manual isn't real clear. I guess my real question is if the molex is used only when utilizing crossfire.

I thought I'd error on the side of caution and ask around first. I guess not too many people have used this board yet.

Just looking at the intel site, the molex is an optional connector, your board is crossfire supporting not sli.
The 2x4 connector top left of the board by the cpu should be connected im surprised they use that rather than the standard 4 pin square. Then again this is intel after all

But dont all these cards have the connectors on themselves these days so what the point in having the port on the mobo
