Hi, im looking for a new psu and this one seems to be among the best I can get in argentina

Be Quiet 1200W 80 Plus Platinum STRAIGHT POWER 12 Full Modular ATX 3.1

It says it has EPS12 instead of atx only. Can i use this in my motherboard with no isssue?
This is my mobo: ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI

Can i use the eps connectors for my mobo cpu slots? what slot is the cpu cable in the psu? or arent the p8 slots for the cpu? I never saw those labeled p8 in another psu iirc it always said cpu
Can someone tell me if this is compatible, where to plug the cpu cable and which one the 4+4 or 8 eps, there no atx, only eps? Thanks!

what are the p8 slots for?
The P8 ends on the PSU are meant to be paired with cables that have a P8 moniker on them, which happens to be the 8pin EPS connectors. If you look through your PSU's manual;

page 39~40. MB represents the 24pin connection to the motherboard.

I havent bought it yet, Im planning to get this one. Can any p8 slot and p8/eps cable that comes with the psu be used to my cpu power on my mobo? I was confused by it being called eps instead of atx
Can the 600w 12vhp cable from this psu be connected directly into a 5080?
Sorry for so many questions, im in the middle of buying components for an upgrade
