What if power connector for GPU [PCIE power cable] is plugged into the mainboard, and power connector for mainboard [EPS] is plugged into the the GPU from power supply? Will everything be okay?

And, if Power Start button switch is placed conversely that is positive on the negative pin, and the negative on the positive pin, will it still start?

It doesn't matter if you swap + and - on the start button (it simply shorts them). And about the power cables, If you mean the 8 pin for the CPU and the 8 pin for the GPU. They are different(the plastic is made different). You cant swap them. Bit if you manage to do it... no, it will not be ok.

Yes, the 8 pin. The cable doesn't say anything, I had to visually identify it, as one of the Youtube video says single 4 pin or double 4 pin [eight pin connector for mainboard]; and 4 or 6 pin for GPU.
Thanks!

Did I post this twice?!

Oh, I see... So after creating the thread I clicked on the publish button and then the published thread opened. I didn't wait for more than one second I believe, probably less, and unplugged the desktop instantly. When I opened this site again, first thing I saw was edit the thread I posted, like creating one. Edited a little, but didn't realize that created another thread.

Looks like html issue or I went like Flash.
