Hi, i am looking at SeaSonic X-1050 power supply and notice that 8-pin connectors have label "CPU / PCI-E". I am little confused, can I connect GPUs and CPU to the same ports ? How do i know which port on PSU to connect my GPUs to ? Apologies but i am not good with electrical so not sure if i am making any sense ?
Please refer to the link below for psu i am looking to buy

With this PSU, yes. The main thing is to use the PCI-E cable when connecting a video card. The 8-pin CPU and 8-pin PCI-E cables differ in pinout.
Thanks fapar.
So if i were to plug PCI-E cable from GPU to one of those ports which is labeled "CPU/PCI-E", GPU will get enough power (~250W), and if plug in CPU cable then it will draw ~92 W ? if so then does it mean that the correct amount of power is drawn by the type of cable (CPU, PCI-E) that i use ? Thanks again.
