Hello guys, I'm first time builder and I'm having issues with my PSU's cable that should connect to the CPU on the motherboard.

So the end of the cable looks like this:

And the connector on the motherboard liiks like this:

They are not the same! What should I do? Thanks in advance.

ok, just looked at it again. Even though the pegs aren't squared or rounded together, it should fit with the clip portion facing Upwards toward the top of the board.
