Motherboard and psu - 8pin connector inverted

[Electronicguy]

First, the motherboard:

And the psu:

The problem: The psu has an 8 pin connector separated in a 6-pin and a 2-pin. The 6 pin fits just fine in the motherboard but the 2-pin seems to be reversed. The "square" connector on the psu connects to the "square and semi-circle" of the motherboard and vice-versa.

Please see images below:

Do I have to reverse those(there are plastic parts that suggest doing so is a bad idea)? Do I only connect the 6 pin?

Additional info:
The motherboard manual says the 8-pin connector is the 12v for the processor but on the psu cable, it says "Pci Express Graphics, 8p connector".
If I dont connect the 8pin, the computer powers on for one second then turns of.
If I connect the 6 pin, the computer does nothing.

Thanks!

There is a separate 8-pin mobo cable - you are definitely trying to use the one that goes to a GPU - do not do this...

You need the "1 x 4+4Pin ATX12V/EPS12V Connector" not the "1 x 6+2Pin PCI-E Connector" from your newegg link.

Oh crap, thanks! Do you have a solution for this? I swear, there is no 8-pin connector for the cpu, the only thing that comes close is two 4 pin connectors. Would those work or do I have to change my psu?

 

[J_E_D_70]

Are the two 4-pins on the same cable? Sure there's not a tag or print on one of the connectors that says ATX or 12V? Your PSU is definitely compatible with the mobo so unless you got a defective unit (wrong-connector wise) it has to be there.

There should be single cable with the (4+4)-pin CPU power connector on it. One half is labelled 4+ and the other half is labelled 4P.

If you don't have an 8 pin or the 4+4 pin set up, no worries! You can always buy an adapter (Molex -> 8 pin).
