I do have 2 4+4 pin cpu power cables that could plug into it but I’m not sure where to plug the ends into my power supply. Where could I plug the cpu cables (8pin ends) in?

any of the 8 pin connectors on the PSU labelled "6+2 PCIE & 4+4 CPU".

I bought a new cpu and motherboard that has overclocking capabilities. I plan on overclocking, but I don’t have the 8+4 pin cpu cable that allows for enough power to go to the cpu. I do have 2 4+4 pin cpu power cables that could plug into it but I’m not sure where to plug the ends into my power supply. Where could I plug the cpu cables (8pin ends) in?

Unless your using a 14900k that you plan to ln2 overclock with you will not need the extra 4 pin.

 

But like said above it won't do any harm using it , just like the above poster said the 6+2 and 4+4 cpu are cross compatible.
