Where does this power cable go?

Didn't find a PSU thread so here goes. I have a Seasonic SnowSilent 750w modular PSU. I'm about to plug in my motherboard and the cable splits at one end. An 18 pin connector and ten pin. What has me confused is the 10 pin socket is not labeled MB like the 18 pin socket is! This is my first build and an expensive one and I just don't want to plug it in and fry things. Why is it
Labeled this way? Also why do some sockets have the label CPU? I didn't think a Processor was supposed to plug into the power supply since its mounted right on the board.

Here's a photo:

Hi there, sorry forgot to say it's 24 at the motherboard end but at the end of the PSU it splits into two, 18 and 10. In the pic the top left is where the 18 goes and I'm assuming just below that is where the 10 goes (not really anywhere else it can plug in so kinda a silly question). I'm just thrown off because the 10 pin socket on bottom left is labeled "CPU PCI" not "MB"
