Corsair hx750i is the pcle and eat sockets the same..

quetch1

Are the sockets on the power supply the same for the pcle and eat connections. Also do I need a full 8 pin eat cable for my asus rog strix 570-e gaming motherboard. Power supply only came with 2 4+4 cables =/

By eat do you mean EPS?

 

And no, PCIe and EPS are different connectors. And 2x4 pin connectors are fine, they're separated for compatibility and 4+4=8...

The 2 4+4 cables don't fit in the 8 pin.

The 4+4 part goes into the motherboard. Have you been trying to put it into the PSU...?

I don't see what wouldn't fit here. The cables, pins, and shape of sockets all match.

The one next over from the square pin has its corners missing. Unless it doesn't matter if they're square or missing corners?

It doesn't matter. A rounded pin fits inside a square pin socket, so it's okay.
