You need to use cable with 12pin connector on PSU side and
2x 6+2pin connectors on GPU side.

In the photo - two cables in upper right corner. You need only one of those cables for your card.

The second cable looks like a 8pin. The one you mentioned 6+2=8.
The 6+2 is considered an 8pin cable connector?
This will not fit into the PCIe 5.0 slot right? so i just connect to the normal PCIe slot?

Connector PCIE 6+2pin can be used as PCIE 6pin (if you don't use 2pin part) or
it can be used as PCIE 8pin (by combining 6pin and 2pin parts).

Only cable with 600W written on it fits into PCIE 5.0 socket (cable in lower right corner in post #5).
