[SOLVED] Do I plug my GPU into the PSU's CPU sockets or the PCIe sockets?

Hi all,

I have an AX1600i and an RTX 4090. I'm trying to understand which ports on the PSU to plug my GPU into. I figure the PCIe ports are the correct ones, but only because I don't understand what the CPU ports are for.

Am I correct - plug GPU into the PCIe ports?

What do the CPU ports do?

Thank you

What the picture shows is that 1 - 10 on the left side of that power supply can be EITHER CPU or PCIe. They are all equivalent. The "&" (AND) sign says it works for both.
