even though the forms vary, it seems to match an 8-pin CPU. As long as the connector originates from your power supply and the cable ends at that port, it should be the correct 8-pin setup. I’m not aware of any other 8-pin connectors with a double clip—this isn’t typically used for GPUs.
Ensure proper orientation, okay? @SorryClaire has the right point.
Are there any labels on the PSU connector? Or could there be a 4-pin square connector from the PSU? I believe most PSUs have been using ATX-12V or EPS connectors for a long time. The PCIe power connector seems to be the alternative option.
I've dealt with power supplies before, but none seem to fit the shape configuration on that motherboard. All the pictures show one side with a non-square connector. Why would anyone include a cable that doesn't work? I've seen this problem everywhere online, yet no one seems to have a solution. The 2x4 pin indicates the CPU, but it doesn't match the socket. The other end says PSU—am I going crazy?
Seasonic focus 850 gold is a reliable option. I’ve noticed similar 2x4 pin setups for CPUs before, and I’m just checking if it’s safe to use.
