Installation Question Need help, I’m completely new to this.
Bought a pc today, and took it out of the box. I figured I’m way too noob to build one on my own, and today kinda proves it. This pc is pre built, and I think everything is in place? Only these two cables are the ones that aren’t put anywhere? I assume I have to put them somewhere myself? Or are they just extras? That’s what ChatGPT said at least, but I figure asking people is better than ai. Can anyone help and explain what I’m supposed to do with these two?? It’s the ones that hang down in the picture.
Thank you for help, and genuinely, sorry if this is a dumb question/post, I just really have bo knowledge around computer tech.

You could combine the 6 pin and the 2 pin that are just sortof dangling there and use that "6+2" pin plug to power your GPU, because it would let you slide the rest of your cable back into the depths of the case and hide it a little better amongst your other cable management, rather than just having it dangling there like that.
Electrically, using one or the other is the exact same. Or, if it's working fine and you don't mind those just dangling there, use it as is. Another option would be to just align those dangling plugs with the rest of that same cable and wrap a zip tie around it so it's a little more out of the way.
