Hi all,
I am at a Wits end.
I bought a Corsair RM850X PSU for my new PC build. The Motherboard is the MSI MAG X570S Tomahawk MAX WIFI.
The issue is that the supplied CPU Power Cords only work on one the end that goes to the Motherboard. The other End does not match. The Motherboard socket to connect the power matches the PSU Socket BUT....Both ends of the supplied Power Cables only matches one end.
The 4-Pin connector matches the one on the MB and PSU as it can be separated. I'm beginning to think the 8-pin connector is not used at all.
I also bought a new PSU EVGA 850 G6 Supernova Gold 80+ and it has the same connectors...WTH???
I will add pics to show you the MB socket and the Power cable layout. I need help.

The motherboard one is hard to see but the sockets match the 8-Pin Power Cable side. The PSU requires the SAME layout of the 8-pin. There is no cable where both ends are the same.
The 4-Pin slot has matching power cable. Is the MB 8-Pin socket faulty? Is it used at all?
I'm so lost.
