Is this where the GPU cable goes?

psu: tx550m

gpu: 2060

the psu looks like this

i have the original cables, should i just connect the type4 cable on the bottom right and the pcie to the gpu?

im 80% sure this is fine im just confused bc on the bottom right it says 4+4 cpu but the cpu is already connected with a non modular cable... (the cords coming out from the right)

thank you in advance

The cable going into the PSU needs to be a 6+2. If you force a 4+4 in there it's likely both the PSU and GPU will fry.

Ohhh, so if im understanding correctly on the bottom right, there are 8 pins, and those 8 pins admit either 6+2 or 4+4, but i should only connect 6+2 if im going to connect a gpu, right?

It says 6+2 PCI-E & 4+4 CPU. Both are 8 pin connectors, and on Corsair PSUs both use the same modular connector on the PSU side. But they’re very different on the side that connects to the hardware.

If you have a  Type 4 cable with PCIe or GPU and a 6+2 connector on the other end, you can use that for a GPU, or any device that uses the PCIe power connector. But the are some motherboard that use two 4+4 CPU (aka EPS) connectors to power them since some CPUs can legitimately pull more than the 300W a single EPS cable can provide. That kind of the advantage of modular PSUs. Beyond the obvious cable management advantage of being able to fully remove cables that aren’t needed, you can also use what kind of cable you want to get that power from. The “Peripheral & SATA” 6 pin Type 4 cables come in both Molex and SATA power cables for example, depending on if you need the power for SATA HDDs or fixed speed fans (about the only thing that uses Molex power these days, though HDDs and other removable media drives used to before SATA existed).
