Cablemods EPS cable, how do i tell it apart from the PCI-E 8x?

[jeppe96]

so, i have several 8 pins, 2 wich say PSU on one end, and 1 that has 1 wire split at one end, no clue wich is what

The one with the split end, assuming it splits into 6+2, is the graphics card end.

Pcie 8x should be 6+2, so that means the cable splits to 6 +2 at the end. The CPU cable is 4+4, so it splits in the middle.

[jeppe96]

theres only 1 4+4, the rest are solid 8s

Either way PCIe power fits only in PCIe power. The only other 8-pin power connector is the EPS one, which is keyed differently and will not fit.

ah, that cleared it up, thanks

@jeppe96 the PCI-E cables will have a bridge in two of the terminals, your EPS will not be the same.
