Check what the other end of the cable is used for. If it is for CPU or GPU, it goes into CPU & PCIE ones (all 8pin ones). If it's SATA/Molex, it goes into peripherals (all 6pin ones).

I want to stick in the cables of my PSU, but I'm not sure what slots i should use on the PSU. My PSU looks loke this. Should i mount the Type 4 for cables of the CPU on the top right slots and the Type 4 cables in the middle right slots? Or does this not matter?

 

Thanks in advance!

Ah ok. Thank you. So technically all 8 Pins slots on the PSU are the same and it only depends what cables are connected?
