Will this work with a Thermaltake - SMART 700W ATX 80 Plus Power Supply? The PS only has 2 4-pin ATX 12-V cables and the motherboard has a 4-pin ATX 12-V connector and an 8-pin ATX 12-V connector. I'm not sure if both connectors need to be occupied. null

Always read the manual! The 8 pin must be filled fully but the additional 4 pin is extra unless you have a paricularly power hungry setup. The two 4 pins from your powersupply should work in the 8 pin socket. Once again, read the manual and double check what I am saying. it should all be in there for you.

The single 4 pin is supplementary power for extreme overclocking situations. Using the 2 provided 4 pin cables in the 8-pin slot is all that is necessary for normal operation of this motherboard.

Yes it will, but it will slightly limit power delivery
