Question Problem with my GTX 1080 Ti - - - or is it something else ?

[Aeacus]

I don't know where am I supposed to plug in the cable of the CPU.

Your last pic that shows CPU cooler partly, in the top left corner, there are two 8-pin 12V EPS connectors. "CPU" power cable goes into that.

Edit: I think I figured out what those two slots next to CARBON sign were for. It was written CPU PWR 1 and CPU PWR 2 underneath them, so I connected CPU 1 and CPU 2 slots cables from the PSU to each identical number.

Looks like you figured it out.

SATA/PERIF slot 2 and 3 are not connected with anything and am not sure if I'm supposed to connect those anywhere.

These are needed when you have more SATA/MOLEX devices than one cable can provide for.

In before pics, there were cables connected with SYS FAN 3 and PUMP FAN.

Could be your GPU AIO, that connected there.

Namely, the AIO itself to PUMP FAN and fan on GPU rad to the SYS FAN 3.

I'm sorry, could you provide me details about this? I have no idea what GPU AIO, PUMP FAN and fan on GPU rad to the SYS FAN 3 are. How to connect them?

Are there any loose, unconnected cables within the system, that doesn't come from the PSU?

The connector that goes to PUMP_FAN and SYS_FAN3 is small, either 3-pin or 4-pin one.

Looks like so (top left);

Note: the cable and connector may not be white, but can be completely black as well. Also, connector itself is quite small, far smaller than connectors that come out of the PSU.

I mentioned that one in my previous message along with the photo of it, but for some reason there is only one and not two left. Am I supposed to connect it to PUMP FAN OR SYS FAN or it doesn't matter? Also, it doesn't matter if one of them is not connected?

Back trace the cable and look where it leads to.

But it doesn't matter to which fan header you connect it to, since for your MoBo, all fan headers behave and are rated the same. Further reading from holy bible of PCs, page 39. (Btw, i downloaded the English version of it. If you downloaded Europe or any other version, pages i say here may not align to yours.)

I couldn't figure it out so I just connected one of the connectors that were connected with the three fans on the front. When I was about to wrap up everything I found that the connector of the SATA cable was broken. I don't know if this could cause any previous malfunction. I ordered the replacement cable, should arrive tomorrow.

Broken power connector can short-circuit the PSU and fry it. Though, PSUs have short-circuit protection in them and it would be slim chance for good quality PSU to die over it.

If the cable that was broken is data cable, then it can disable access to the drive itself.
