Which plugs?? Obviously the 24 pin goes to the 24 pin on the mobo and the 4 or 8 plug goes to the ATX header on the mobo

Well as I said the 24 pin will only go in one place the 24 pin connector on the mobo. 6 pin are usually for separate videocards that have connectors for power. If you havent installed one, you dont need the 6 pin.

All you need is the 24 pin and the 4/8 plug which plugs into the ATX header. And remember to plug the CPU fan into the CPU header on the mobo.

Read the manual
