Hello,

In my haste I pulle out all of the cable from the plug and forgot to take a picture of the wire's place's....
I have 4 yellow wich are +12V and 4 black wich are COM

I put those 2 black wire in but I'm not sure if I pluged in the right place.
On the picture the one on the very left goes to the one on the very right.

I think if I keep the cable where they are on the 8 pin plug it need's to go on the 4 pin plug in the middle whey're they aren't right now.
What I'm sure of right now is that the black cable goes to the bottom of this picture.

I any one could help me it would be greatly appreciate
 
Thank's for the help,

But I don't see the other side of the CPU pin so it lead me nowhere
 
Be careful. The connector thats split 4/4 is probably your ATX +12V that goes into the motherboard. You should be able to find the pinout online somewhere. The other one is probably an 6/2 split PCI-E connector for GPU's. I'm not sure the pinouts are the same. I'm pretty sure they're different actually. Make sure you're doing them both right.

Yeah they are not the same, I think they are opposites to each other.
 
Check your motherboard user manual they usually have some diagrams of those kind of wires. At least I think they did.

Another thing that I did with sleeving my cables so I didnt lose track of where I was is I only sleeve one wire at a time. So ill take out one wire, sleeve it, put it back in and then do the next one. That way I dont forget where it goes, just a thing I do to keep me on track
 
Ok thank's everyone I found the diagramm in the manual and someone else just told me that as long as the wire is the same colour there is no problem, I think for the 24 pin i'll probably do it once at a time do. ;)
 
caution! the 8 pin ones for graphic cards, not all of them are ground, there are additional +2 grounds on the 8 pin over the 6 pin one, one of the two grounds is a sensor, no sure what will happen if you install them wrong but you don't wanna risk it :p
