I got 2x cables both with 2x 4 pins only one of the 4 pins can fit into the cpu slot, but since i have 2x cables both with 1 4pins which can fit. Will it be possible to use 1 4x pins of each cables to plug into the 8x pin slot on the motherboard? Or should i just plug 1 4x pin into the 8x pin slot?
 
Solution
If they are compatible, it's better to have both in the 8pin connector. Some wouldn't even work without it. Keep in mind that one set of 4pins is not keyed same as other 4 on 8pin slot. Each one can fit only one way although all 4 + 4 wires carry same voltage and are of same polarity.
