hello, do you have to power the three sockets of the board, that is 3 times 12 volts, thank you!!

You mean three 8-pin connectors? Well, if your GPU has 3 of them, then yes. Reference design has typically only two, though, so I'm assuming you're running smth like ASRock or ASUS PCB? Anyhow, you connect as many power lines, as there are on the card. It MIGHT work if you don't, but be ready to have SERIOUS problems at random.

Yes, you must connect the 3 PCIe GPU Power cables from the PSU to the RX6900XT GPU card for the GPU card to work as mentioned by the previous reply.
