I am abojt to buy a MSI AERO ITX GTX 1650 Super which has a 6pin connector. My cable is a 6+2 on both sides and I am not sure if I should plug in 6pin into the PSU or 8pin and where exactly.

Thanks!

And also: what does 12v2 and 12v1 mean?

+12v1 and +12v2 are the two different power rails your power supply uses to provide power to your components.
The red power ports on your power supply should be keyed in such a way that only one end of the PCIE power cable will fit. Since it's an 8-pin power port, the cable should have 8-pins on one end (single block) and a 6+2pin block on the other end.

Both pins are 6+2.
In which Power port should I plug it in then? 12v1 or 12v2?

Thanks for answering tho

Both ports are labelled for 6-pin. Only +12v2 is labelled for 8(6-2)pin, Since the GTX1650 only has one 6-pin power requirements, you can use either port on the power supply.
