Hello!  :lol:

 

I am building a PC for the first time...

I am allmoust done, just need to connect cables...

But I don't really know soooo much about them and I have 1 question.

 

Which cable should I use (for the 8-pin, on top of the motherboard)

I looked at all that I got with my Corsair AX860i PSU, and none fit the right way (in my logic..)

Soooooo.... I don't know the PCE one fits but I think that those aren't ment for this ;D And the one that says CPU kinda fits... you kinda have to force it in but you kinda don't... what I'm trying to say is that the connectors on the motherboard are: square, sircle, sircle, square....bottom...sircle, square, square, sicle and on the connector: sircle, sircle, sircle, square...bottom...sircle, sircle, square, sircle. If you know what I'm talking about...hmm...well... Help?  :D  Thank's!!!

The one labelled "CPU".

 

Edit: Not the one that you can seperate, but the other one, with the notch facing the top of the case.

Soo.. should I just kinda force it in?  ^_^

Normally it needs "a bit", like almost nothing "to force" it in, it should just fit, just try it out :)

So it's not really wrong that you know... the sircle...square thing... 

Yeah, both "CPU" labelled cables are made to fit in that plug so yeah, it can only fit, just don't use the ones for your GPU.

It should slide in until it hits the clip. Then you will need a bit of force.
