This is the cables and the back of the psu

It only comes with 2 , don't I need one of those for the mobo?

#

Cause I'm assuming in that case , those will go in VGA 1 and VGA 2

that other cable pcie power and cpu power is done by 2 difrent connection

#

eps 4+4 and pcie sup is 6+2

#

How do I tell the difference between the two? Because they both look the same

#

At least in that photo they do, and connectors on the PSU look the same

#

your psu have 2 4+4 pin eps even if board has 2 eps for cpu power it will run off one

#

1 there keyed and 4+4 has 2 banks of 4 pin EPS /cpu

#

and the one for gpu has a bank of 6 and a bank of 2 pins

#

see

#

and the shapes of each pin are not the same to try to stop conect them worng but i have seen some one plug in the wrong cable some how

I think Evga has extra cables but if there isn’t enough ports on the psu you might need a different psu

Yeah from what I'm reading the cables it comes with are daisy chained so I can make it work , can anyone direct me to something along the lines of a 2 8-Pin (PSU Side) to a 3 8-Pin (Connecting to GPU)?

Just found it on the website, it comes with "PCI-E 8(6+2)-Pin x 2" in the quantity of 2

#

So 2 daisy chained cables, it'll work but I'll just have a cable hanging around looking ugly as fuck cause I only need 3 8-pins for the 7900 xtx

#

Another thing , can someone help confirm with me that everything is going to fit without issue? I just looked and seen that I may face issues when it comes with my Motherboard and aio mounting, I tried to do the dimensions of it but couldn't get it done properly
