The 8-pin CPU cable isn't compatible with the motherboard.
Hello, I saw a similar issue while installing my new Ryzen system. The 8-pin CPU cable isn’t matching the slot on my X570 Aorus Pro motherboard because the physical layout differs—specifically, one side of the cable lacks a square pin. It seems it should fit on the opposite end, but that side is meant for the PSU. I’m wondering if there’s another way to install it or if I need to adjust the setup. Thanks for your help!
First item on the left corresponds to ATX_12V1, second is ATX_12V
There are two options: one port is an 8-pin, the other is a 4+4 pin, allowing separation. The 4+4 side connects to the motherboard, while the fixed 8-pin goes to the power supply unit.
The power supply cable indicates the CPU is connected at the connector.
The side stating CPU compatibility with PSU isn't available here.
