Yes, the board needs both the regular ATX plug and the 4pin plug for it to run stable. There has been issues with psu's with only the normal ATX connector and no 4pin plug and the Abit NF7 mobo. Looks like the 4pin (+12v) is needed for the board to run, otherwise you'll have stabilty issues and most likely boot up failure.
hmmm, never heard of the unstable thing. From what I have heard and read you don't need the extra 12v plugged in. But it wouldn't hurt it plug it in anyway.
