those are sata power adapters.  You would use them if you ever have any accessories that use sata power besides hard drives and ssd's.  If you dont have any sata power devices then just leave them

What exactly are you trying to connect to these cables???

 

The cables you're showing are male STA power connectors, those are basically the connector side that is on the hard drives, and those are usually on cable extentions ;

That PSU is fully modular, so the original cables that came with it should look like this.

You should check to see if you have any more. I'm guessing what you've attached in the photo is an extension of some sort, perhaps through your case?

These cables should have been included when you bought your power supply.

 

If you really need such a new set, then I would suggest buying original EVGA cables. You can find them for example on the EVGA web store.

You should NOT use any cables with a power supply that are not for it.

The ends that connect to your motherboard and various devices may be universal, but the ends the connect to the power supply end can be proprietary. They have different pin layouts so a short can happen. I've seen people destroy computers by trying cables that weren't meant for their power supplies so be careful!

 

but yea, those are just sata power connectors.

I guarantee that your PSU came with those.

Every PSU comes with Sata power connectors unless it's like ridiculously old. Then it'd be molex and you can just use adapters on those to connect them to sata devices.
