Alright thanks, lol second time building a computer first time was a doozie this second time was a little easier until i saw the split cable. To make matters worse they aren't even labelled so the PCI express cables have the exact same look only reason I was able to tell is cause it's slightly...

I may be mistaken here cause the gigabyte PSU box on the back is calling this cable a CPU 4 + 4 pin connector. But wouldn't it really be a 8 pin as there are well essentially 8 pins if you count them out. Either way I'm trying to power a Asus strix Z790-E board, I had both power connectors...

So you're saying essentially that even though the board has two 4 pins, i only need to have one attached and I shouldn't attach the other?

I'm a little confused the box is calling them a CPU 4 +4 pin connector. Though its 8 pins on each which seems a little miss leading, though am I to use both to power the motherboard even though its connected to one cable?

Good afternoon, I was hoping I could get some help on this. I can't seem to find the correct answer for this or my understanding is lacking. However, I've never seen a CPU connector like this, I previously owned a AX860 which had two separate CPU cables to power the mother boards two 4 pin...
