Plug the 18-pin and the 10-pin end into the PSU, then the 28-pin (that is made up of the two prior) into the motherboard.

Don't forget to also plug in the CPU Power onto the motherboard. Depending on the CPU, you may also need either 1 or two CPU power cables.

I thought it was a 24 pin and can u tell me which ends go into the psu for all the cables?

Whichever ones fit. It wouldn't damage anything if it was put on backward (Which may or may not even be possible with that PSU)

 

Also, don't force it in. They should go in relatively easily if you hold back the latch (While lining it up with the slots on the PSU if at that end). Some of the connectors will fit only to the motherboard or the PSU.

I just got my first modular case, RX550 from corsair.

 

All the cable ends were either labelled or obvious where they went, it seemed impossible to get it wrong.

 

CPU had CPU written on it just to make sure you didnt mix it up with GPU! (I still forgot to actually plug it in but that’s another story).
