Which wire connects to which terminal? That’s the question.

They both display VGA P5 on the sides.

They're moving into the GPU power connectors...

I’m not familiar with wiring details. The cables display different information—some show codes while others indicate 125C 600V—and I assumed they should be arranged in a specific sequence (for example, matching the correct slot).

When the connectors match, exchanging them is seamless. These are eight-pin PCIe connectors designed for graphics cards. Your graphics card needs just one of these cables, though others may need up to three. Enjoy your day!

they should provide power specifically for the GPU. each cable has its own positives, negatives, grounds, and the circuit requirements—imagine them like usb cables but delivering power instead. connect two cables from the psu into the gpu, ensuring each handles its own wattage. make sure the connections are secure and tight; sometimes you might need to adjust or insert them carefully.

I had a concept about USB-powered GPUs! Not sure about the maximum power limits for USB, but it sounds cool. Just thinking about 240 watts, compact size, and full-duplex speed—way better than what I've seen before! Keep going, Jensen! P.S.

Yes, USB connections rely on PCIe lanes for data transfer. Additionally, eGPUs can be connected using Thunderbolt, though they tend to be more expensive.

Absolutely, that's a specialized area. Not sure why it matters so much? The main issue is the PCI cables and plugs.

USB connections can be challenging, starting with ports that may wear out or lose contact. If you hit the desk hard enough, the connection might fail, which isn’t ideal.
