What is the difference between PC-I psu cables and EPS psu cables

 

also I'm trying to figure out what custom cables I need. For my geforce gtx 1070 what cable would I need.

pci is for gpu's and eps is for cpu's

 

You will normally need one 8 pin for a 1070, but depends on the exact model.

Keep in mind that you need a 6+2 pin (8 pin) PCI-e cable. NOT a 4+4 pin (also 8 pin) EPS power cable. Those are not interchangeable; they're designed only to fit where they belong.

Lol found that out the hard (?) way when I spent 10 minutes scraping myself on my hyper 212 evo trying to pug gpu cables into the cpu power socket.
