The CPU connector - if your CPU is low power, then it should be safe enough (since the motherboard manual specifically MENTIONS it) to just use a 4-pin CPU connection instead of an 8-pin.
The molex connectors are intended to power the PCI-E bus connectors for use with non-powered risers.

Without the 4 pin the Motherboard will not work, so that is REQUIRED

Do you mean the two molex connectors?
or
the 4-pin CPU power connector?
For the molex it is not necessary to connect them if you are using powered risers
For the 4-pin CPU, IT IS REQUIRED as the other guys have told you

That 8-pin connector is what powers your CPU - IT IS REQUIRED NOT OPTIONAL.
According to the manual, you can also use a 4-pin CPU power connector.

This motherboard provides an 8-pin ATX 12V power connector. To use a 4-pin ATX power supply, please plug it along Pin 1 and Pin 5.
