no, the 8-pin connector is sufficient. i had the same question/concern as you, then googled around a bit, and the answer was that the 8-pin is sufficient, which has also proven itself in practice. (the additional 4-pin would only be necessary if you were overclocking extremely and needed effectively higher current & voltage values. in that case, however, a special power supply with all the plugs/connectors would be necessary!)
of course!
Yes, internally and externally. External is marked red. The internal connection is next to DIMMS. Please refer to the operating instructions on page 18, point 11.

No
If you don't need internet, you can do it without a LAN cable.
Yes and no, this board has very few configurable LEDs (see link).

The board lights up by default even when it is switched off. But you can activate "CEC 2019 Ready" in the UEFI Bios under "Power" -> "CEC 2019 Ready" then the lights go out when switching off. This is an energy-saving mode.
don't buy a high end board and a low end cpu, it works, but it's stupid... buy a board with w non-z chipset and a i5 9400f or so...
Hello, the mainboard does not support nvidia SLI, only AMD CrossFire.
I would do now:
how old is the MB? freshly bought, or already in use for a few weeks/months?
- if new and still within the DOA time frame ... return directly to a digitec branch & get a new replacement MB (call digitec support for case beforehand [direct branch tel. no. will not be disclosed] and/or register the case online).
- if already older and no DOA anymore...
. since hwmonitor shows correct values & the MB has not yet smoked (= sensors ok), possibly a BIOS software bug...
. did the error occur from now on without any action on your part?
. or only after a bios or firmware update?
. if after a BIOS/FW update, try to downgrade to the previously working BIOS version (usually not recommended by the MB manufacturers, but what should you do?).
- If you are not on the latest BIOS version, download it and update it (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboar...).
. if you don't want to upgrade/downgrade the BIOS (yet), you might want to do a full BIOS reset first (online manual page 20, pt. 16: https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images...).
if all this does not help... either ignore (correct values are reported to the OS & the fan control), or replace the MB. there is not much online about this...

I can confirm this... mobo with an i5-9600 and the same RAM as you (2x8GB) in use, i could not reach higher CPU rates with the gigabyte auto-OC tool without first lowering the RAM clock from 3000 to 2133... or rather, this was defined in the BIOS for the auto-OC. as soon as I manually increased the RAM clock to 3000+ with a higher CPU clock --> BOOM! but then I was too lazy to play around with the intel XTU OC tool... and since the new PC box was assembled for someone else anyway, I didn't really care! ^^; according to unanimous WWW community knowledge, the higher CPU clock is more relevant than the RAM clock anyway...
The GTX 1070 Ti needs a PCIe x16 which the MOBO offers.
Yes you can mount the GPU on the MOBO.
