The 8-pin CPU cable isn't compatible with the motherboard.
The 8-pin CPU cable isn't compatible with the motherboard.
It should be fine, that's the 4+4 pin connection for the CPU. The GPU uses a 6+2 pin setup.
It's actually about a slight difference in pin count between the cable and the motherboard connector.
The issue is resolved; I missed it earlier. Appreciate your assistance and patience, all.
