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?
 
Solution
On the PSU end, yes, all the 8-pin sockets are the same. 4+4 and 6+2 are not interchangeable at the component end. All 12V and ground, but in different layouts.
