Hello, quick question, if I want to connect a gpu that is fed via 2 8-pin power cables (e.g. RTX 2080 Ti) , which 8-pin PSU ports should I use? Or are they all identical? Also, what is the upper-middle 10-pin port used for? This is my first time connecting a PSU all by myself so I'm trying to be pretty cautious about the connections
The PSU is the RM850x, as seen below:

Solution
Use any 2x 8pin ports to power up your gpu (6+2 PCIE & 4+4 CPU is written near them).

Upper 10pin and 18pin are for connecting 24pin cable to motherboard.
