Note this is all how I think it goes, first time build with zero knowledge on wiring, and the names of the cables.
The “img 1” above is one of the cables that came with the Corsair PSU I got, it is a
PCI-E 8 Pin (4+4) PCI-E cable 8-pin (6+2) going into the left side of the GPU toward the edge (seen in “img 2”).
In “img 3 & 4” I then connect the first cable
“PCI-E 8 Pin (4+4)” PCI-E 8-pin (6+2) wire that came with the power supply unit to the PSU on rail 2? for the “6+2 PCI-E & 4+4 CPU” power section?
In “img 5” this cable came with the 980 Ti, looks like one 6-pin end splitting out into two male molex connectors?
In “img 6”, I then got a “4-pin peripheral” cable according to the PSU manual and connected both those male molex ends to the two females connectors.
In “img 7” I connected the 6-pin end to the right side away from the edge.
After that I…
In “img 8” I plug the cable that was away from the edge of the GPU with the “6-pin end splitting” cable & “4-pin peripheral” cable to the 1st rail? of the “Peripheral & SATA” power section?
That is what I think is correct for the 980 Ti.
Now for the CPU, and Mobo…
In “img 9” I get one cable that came with PSU, labeled “CPU”, [the manual says, “EPS/ATX 12v 8-pin (4+4)”] and connect the 8-pin end to the Motherboard. I assume this is power for the CPU.
In “img 10” I connect the other end not labeled “CPU” to the PSU on the 1st rail under the “6+2 PCI-E & 4+4 CPU” power section.
In “img 11”, here I connect (according to the PSU manual) the “ATX 24-pin (20+4)” to the motherboard.
...then on “img 12” I connect the other 2 ends that separate out to the 24-pin ATX label on the PSU.
This is all a guess, I have zero knowledge and didn’t know where to begin researching the tons of cables out there, or looking through outdated information that doesn’t apply to this fairly recent hardware.
If I’m wrong let me know please (don’t want to burn my house down), I think this covers the power wiring for the GPU, CPU, and Mobo.
After this I'm going to probably need help with my NZXT case wiring (smaller wires).
