The power connector is quite unusual. 1 4-pin and 2 8-pin. While high-end consumer PSUs do have two 8-pin connectors in addition to the 24-pin, what's that 4-pin (PSU signal and 5Vsb)? Is that the same molex connector or some other pin layout?

the rm 850x and rm750x by corsair i have, has 2x8 pin connector cables.

If you look closer you see it's actually 2x 4-pin + 2x 8-pin.
The 4-pin is the standard ATX 12V 75W CPU supply connector. (The 8-pin connectors are an older standard for servers that's later been adopted for consumer boards as well.)
Most consumer PSUs today have a 4+4-pin connector that can fit either socket. The more powerful PSUs have one (or rarely two) additional 8-pin connectors.

The other 4-pin is for HDD power as listed in the spec. The specifically said 5Vsb for the 4-pin in power connector part in spec. I am pretty sure 8-pin CPU connector, whether split into two 4-pin or not, can not provide 5V.
