24 PIN cable

[EEB]

I'm in the process of putting some of my new parts in my case. I have the ASUS Z68 Pro motherboard and the Corsair AX850 power supply. I got the 24 pin cable plugged into the motherboard. On the other end of the cable their is 2 connectors. Do both of these get plugged into the power supply? Looks like the larger plug goes in the bottom rail and the smaller plug on the top.(PSU fan is on the bottom of case)

Also the 8 pin cable on the motherboard, it looks like the other end of the cable plugs into the power supply beside where the PCI cables get plugged into.

In the pic the 8 pin is plugged in. If the other 2 get plugged in, the smaller one would go next to the 8 pin and the other one goes below it.

Thanks

RTFM. If you don't know what that means, google it.

That said, I believe you plug all of them in.

I did RTFM, both of them and I didnt see what I was looking for.

Both get connected. Both are side by side in the 24 pin slot. It's the one nearest the shiny sticker. The big strip goes in the big strip, the small strip goes in the small strip.

Thanks for the reply.

I put the larger one above the shiny sticker and the smaller one I got next to the 8 pin that is shown in the pic already plugged in.

I found a diagram for the ax850 and it showed them in that location and beside the 8 pin is for 2 PCI. The other 5 on the bottom row are for sata etc.
