The motherboard requires 8 + 4 CPU power, the PSU has only 4 + 4. How to resolve the situation?

Motherboard Asus Crosshair VI Hero, PSU Zalman ZM700-GLX. I haven’t decided which processor to take yet, but the choice is between Ryzen 1400 and 1600 (of course, for overclocking). The total power consumption of the system with any of the processors reaches a maximum of half the capacity of the PSU.
Attention, questions:
1) will the mother start without additional. 4 pin?
2) Is there enough power for any of the above overclocking processes?
3) Is it a good idea to wind up an adapter, from a molex, for example, or is it better to change the PSU?
PS I'm asking, because I'm not good at electrics, I'm afraid to make trouble. Thanks in advance.

I have a Ryzen 1400 with 4-pin power, everything is fine. 8 is enough. 8 + 4 is something too transcendental, I have not seen such a BP either. In all these connectors, the power is connected in parallel, so it will work even if you only plug in 4pin. Another thing is that frail connections can overheat due to high currents, but the new Ryzen, especially not the top 1800, do not consume so much.
Power needs to be evaluated considering the entire configuration. Maybe you will have three powerful video cards, then 700W will not be enough. The overclocked Ryzen 1600 consumes 250 watts at its peak, which alone is definitely enough.
Adapters should not be sculpted - there will be nowhere to connect them in your power supply, the processor is powered through a separate line.

And you connect the 4-pin wire to the 8-pin wire and the second wire to the second connector and turn
it on. You will be surprised that everything will work.
The same connectors on the Asrock 110 chipset and with a 4 + 4 PSU everything worked

1. Start.
2. Not known.
3. You can get confused if the wires or the plug do not withstand the current (you can feel for heating to determine), and so everything is parallel on the board, that in the PSU all the wires are from one point (parallel)
