Question mci mag z790 tomahawk wifi wiring question

This mb has 2 - 8pin cpu- p1 and p2
My previous mb had only one.
So I have an 8 pin connector coming from the corsair cx550m, part of the main bundle.
The only other 8 pin that I can access from the power supply is labeled 6+2pci8 and 4+4 cpu.

I assume that I should use this connection for the cpu-2

I have another 8 pin from a different psu labeled pci-e which I assume would be ok ?

Yes/No ????

just CPU will fit into CPU connections. So 8pin EPS and 4+4 CPU

PCIe 8pin is only for GPU, not CPU and won´t fit

different PSUs aremost likely not compatible to other models, even if equal brand, could fry your PSU or other components, don´t use other cables than delivered with the PSU you are using

the one labeled 6*8pin/ 4+4cpu, sound s as if I can use the 4+4cpu.
The cable from the other psu is an 8 pin and looks identical
