Hi, guys I am looking to buy a new laptop. I would like the screen size to be 16' (14 is too small) the budget is 2000€. The main things that I will do is programming and light gaming when on the go. I would really love a laptop with decent battery and good screen. Ideally I am looking for something with 16:10 2k screen with rtx 4060/4070 upgradable to 32GB of ram. I am trying to decide which one would be the best option.

The manufacturer did not include second cpu cable, so I guess I am just going to plug 8 pins into psu ant 16 pins into motherboard, should work fine. Thanks for the answers.

I understand this, but my situation is as follows. The cpu cable has 2*8 pins. On one end and 1*8 on another end. So I plugged 1*8 to my psu. And I am a little bit confused, what do I do with 2*8 end, do I plug only one 8 pin and leave another one dangling ? Or I plug both of them ? But logically speaking it would provide only 320W anyways.

Thanks that is exactly how I managed to separate them. By looking at the differences between squares and oval-squares. Thanks for the extensive answer. And if you are so knowledgeable could you also clarify, why my cpu cable, has two headers. Is it only for length ? And I leave one hanging after I insert one head ? (My mobo has slots for 2*8).

Yeah I thought I misplaced it but it says in the box only one.

That there is only one cable and I need two But it's not an issue for this topic, it's an issue for gigabyte support.

I did it's not the issue anymore. Well I guess the original question has been solved, so thank you for your answers and your time. But I will have to contact gigabyte support.

Apparently there is no difference between cpu and pci-e cables so yeah. They are pci-e cables but also cpu cables.

Almost. Still one small question remains, if my PSU has 2-3 Slots for CPU power why does it only have one cable. I still have some hope that I can just plug both of the cables to the cpu in the motherboard for 16 pin power. I know it probably is not how it works. SO I assume I need to go out and buy another cpu cable for my setup :? I mean 8 pins will probably be enough but, I will need to buy it if I ever want to upgrade, or overclock. And no markings on the cables is seriously stupid. I already jammed pcie cable into cpu slot, before realizing. I am glad I did not break anything

this is from the manufacturers page:

Cha cha Yes I have the right cable, but I got the sides flipped as I understand the end with two cables is just an extension. For it to be longer. So I think I reversed the sides the two hanging cables go to psu and one side to cpu.

So one of the cable is just left hanging :? I mean When I connect one end to the PSU and another to CPU in motherboard, there are two end's so one is just left hanging ?

That is the thing there is nothing I just took another look it's gigabyte 850UD.... No markings... At all. But Well I figured out it by taking a very good look at the pin themselves, but I am still not sure how connect it to the psu and mobo.

Hey guys, dumb question. It was my first time using a modular PSU. And what weirded me out is that pcie cable and cpu has no markings and are exactly the same... the only way I was able to tell them apart was by looking is it connected of 4+4 or 6+2 (by little indent).... So first question, maybe you guys know how to differentiate these cables ? And second one. My Motherboard has 16 pins (2*8) on the motherboard, and the cpu cable is 8 at one side and 2+8 on another side, how do I even connect it ? Two at psu ant one at cpu or 2 at motherboard and one at psu ? Or I just leave one hanging and I connect 2 cpu cables :?

Sorry might not been clear enough. I said that I don't intend to use 8k at 60 fps meaning that I don't need the most powerful hardware. Also as much as I love Asus motherboards from all the reviews, they mention that for am5 they are quite bad Everything else seems more or less fine.
