Connecting EVGA 850GS to an Asus X99 Deluxe II

[Snoopy_62]

I have installedthe mobo and the ram and the psu but now when it comes to connect the cables from the PSU, there is a big connector that has MOBO on it and then that splits into two connectors. So does the big end of the connector, solid piece, go to the mobo or the other way around. I couldn't get any sense out of the manual that came with it. First build, so thanks for the advice. The solid larget connector has mobo stamped on it but so does one of the split connectors

The one that splits into two connectors plug into your EVGA 850GS - 1 into the larger socket labelled "MB" (beside the SATA sockets) and 1 into the smaller socket above the larger socket also labelled "MB". The other end - the solid piece with 24pins - connect to your Asus X99 Deluxe II motherboard.

Okay thanks now for the CPU-I read the manual but there is an eight pin connector on the mobo and the cable that comes with the psu has on end labeled CPU and is eight pins and the other end splits into two four pins connectors so which one connects to the mobo-the solid eight pin??It's confusing but thanks for the help

You'll connect the solid eight pin end of the cable to the EVGA 850GS, then connect the other end (4+4 pins) into your mb.
