I think that's what it's called, it goes at the top, just above the CPU

The 8-pin? There's only one that fits in it. It's either 8-pin or two 4-pins side by side. 

 

Edit: Depending on what processor you have, you may be able to get by by just plugging one 4-pin in it. In that situation it goes on the right if the clip is on top. If you do have two 4-pins, plug both in because you can never really be sure if just one is enough to keep it stable.

CPU 1? I7 4790, so prob not on 4 pins. With my cables, for CPU 1 which are 2x 4PINs, it's incredibly fiddly to install. What an I doing wrong?

Yeah, you'll need them both. Since it's a modular PSU, I'd plug the cables in the mobo first and then route it to the PSU. In my mind there's not much to it. Hold the two 4-pins side by side with the clips together in the middle and push them in together. The plastic part is beveled in the corners so you can't (not a challenge, with force you can) plug a wrong cable in the wrong spot. Which reminds me, did it come with a second CPU cable with a straight up 8-pin? You can use that too.

I'll check when I get home, I'm out right now. I guess you can check on EVGA's website of you want

You're talking about the EPS connector. You can usually plug one in of the 4-pin and then follow with the 2nd 4-pin.
