You plug them both in. Not sure why you'd even want to just plug only one in, even if you could. also the 8 pin cpu which of the 8 pin connectors does it need to be plugged into or do i plug it into a free one? again i am new at these advanced PSUs. any help is appreciated. thanks everyone All of the 8-pin connectors on the PSU are the same. You can plug it into any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
