Yes, you should have both CPU power cables for proper connectivity.

The PSU age isn't shown on PSUCultists. You should get a solid 1000W+ unit instead of something over 1600W.
The original Rosewill Hercules 1600 received a review in August 2013 by Techpowerup: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/rosew...600/3.html 1600s shouldn't be significantly different.
It doesn't matter which option you choose, as long as it comes from the same maker. I can't locate alternatives that match your specific power supply.
It doesn't really matter which option you choose as long as it comes from the same maker. I believe they don't produce parts specifically for your unique power supply model, since it wasn't included with the original unit.
NO... you won't... I clarified the reasons... can you understand what I said and attempt to grasp my points, or are we all just losing time? AGAIN... your power supply needs FIXED cables, not REMOVABLE ones. It should have a 24-pin ATX cable, a connector with two 4-pin connectors that can merge into an 8-pin one for CPU power, and another with an 8-pin EPS connector for CPU power. It's unlikely your model only has one EPS cable without the 4+4 setup built in. You could purchase PCI-E 8 pin to EPS 8 pin adapters that work with any power supply—they act as extensions, converting standard PCI-E 8 pins into an EPS connector.

Various PSUs from the same maker use distinct pin layouts. Without a model matching your exact PSU, you’d need to adapt according to @mariushm’s advice or consider a dual PCIe to EPS solution.
