Would it be any problem if I ignore this at the boot?

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.

Hi,

I installed the AMD blockchain driver, both GPUs were shown in the Device Manager as RX 580.

I noticed that after booting Windows 10, both GPUs are OFF. Fans not spinning and GPU lights are OFF. Still both GPUs are shown in the Device Manager.

Please let me know whats the issue? Is that related to that warning about powering 4-pin to motherboard?

Fans being off does not mean the GPU is off. Most GPU fans wont spin up till they cross a threshold temperature, usually 60C.

Hi,

I plugged in the GPUs again (because I was checking with one by one detection of the GPUs, now all [both] plugged in) and there was a message on boot that put 4-pin Molex power on the motherboard. Press N to ignore. I ignored the message and Windows 10 started. I immediately shut down the machine and thought of asking from the community.

The only thing I did before was just the setting of Primary Graphics Adapter as Onboard.

The machine was powering with GPUs before without that message and I am just wondering the impact if I ignore this message. May be its due to Primary Graphics Adapter=Enabled but I am not sure.

Note: I am using powered risers and two risers share a single cable.

Looking forward and thanking you in anticipation.

Nope, you don't actually need those to plugged, you have already your powered risers and it will definitely do the jobs for your mainboard molex. its just a waste of cable actually, you will only use it when you're riser don't have a powered options or making use of PCI-e x16 slots.
