Corsair rm750x cpu and pci-e cable question

[pduarteg]

Hello, i just bought this psu off Amazon and i was wondering, according to this image:

Does the 8 pin cpu cable goes to the socket in the upper right? I ask because they are 3 8 pin sockets in the row and it's labeled as 6+2 pci-e & 4+4 cpu.

Or does it implies i can use any of the 3 sockets for the cpu cable? and if this is the case, which of the 3 8 pin sockets should i use to plug the CPU cable?

I only found out of this after the psu was shipped, I downloaded the "manual" but that thing doesn't clarify anything.

Yes that is where the cable for the CPU 8 pin inserts. The arrow is correct.

Hi,
Yes, but the MOTHERBOARD end of the cable is different from the PCIe cables i believe.

It's IDIOT PROOF so the wrong cable can't connect on BOTH ends.

The CPU cable may be a "4+4" on the motherboard side.

@photonboy off the motherboard end i am aware, but the psu has 3 identical 8 pin sockets, now @SR-71 Blackbird says that it is as the blue arrow indicates, but in some other forums that i asked they said that any of the 3 8 pin sockets can be used for either the 4+4 cpu cable or the 6+2 pci-e cable, for now i will go with SR-71

I believe it's the "EPS" connector not PCIe, but again it's probably 4+4 and only the correct cable will work on the motherboard side.

The first one you pointed at with the Arrow , works out for the best with cable management , I own the RM850x.

@photonboy i am not asking for the motherboard's end, i am asking for the psu's end, i am asking which of the 3 8 pin sockets should i use for the (and yes it) eps/atxv12 4+4 cpu cable

Edit, Thank you SR-71 it's all what i wanted to know

Use the one you pointed out with the arrow it works out for the best with your cable management when you route it to the 4+4 CPU power to the board.

for future reference you can just look at the connectors and how they are keyed. if they are identical then you can use either one on the PSU.
