Hello guys! 

I was trying to build my pc earlier today, but encountered a problem with cable connection. It appears that EVGA Supernova 850 G2's CPU cables are not compatible with the JPWR2 slot on my MSI X99A Gaming Carbon Pro motherboard. (Shown as pictures)

I can perfectly stick the 8 pin end to the JPWR2 spot but then the rest two four pin ends will not fit in the "CPU power supply port" on the PSU itself. Is the PSU not compatible with my motherboard or is it just the cables included are outdated?

I can't plug the split ends to the motherboard. The two slots have identical shape....

looks like the left side 4 pin is incorrect, it should have 2 flat and 2 keyed

But it would fit into the motherboard regardless. The rounded off pegs can go in either the rounded off holes or the square holes as well.

That is the exact shape of both plugs...So the split ends of EVGA CPU cables won't fit in :(.

Please quote people for them to notice. Are you sure you're plugging them in the right way around? The slot is keyed for a reason :P
