Question CORSAIR 850 CPU power connection clarification please.

[jlogicbud]

Hello; Can someone clarify something for me please, Just bought a Corsair 850X power supply and I noticed that my motherboard msi mag z790 tomahawk wifi ddr4, requires 2 8 pin CPU power cables, would I use the two slots below the motherboard connections?
I'm just confused because the bottom 4 connection are identical and its labeled PCIe/CPU, can I plug both 8 pin CP and on PCIe on the bottom 4 slot? Then there's a separate single connection on the back which is also labeled PPCIe/CPU.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

All five 8 pin sockets on the modular PSU board have the same pinout and can be used for CPU and PCI-e.

Thanks for the quick reply,

So all 5 PCIe/CPU pinouts are interchangeable thus it doesn't matter which of the 5 I select as my PCIe connection nor which 2 I select for my CPU?

Again thank you

under most circumstances you don't need but one connector unless your a massive overlocker
