confused about this layout , it makes me think all the PCIE 6+2 ports can also be used for CPU 4+4 cables ? I guess what is throwing me off is when I read people say they are different?
thanks so as long as I use the cables marked CPU on the motherboard and the ones marked PCIE on the GPU thats all all the matter and what 8pin socket on the PSU I can use any of the 5 on the PSU
Correct.
All of the 8-pin connectors on the PSU are the same.
