Even if the PSU doesn’t come with the cables you want there are plenty available aftermarket. I’ve not used what comes with even high end PSUs for a very long time. Like you I don’t want to use 4+4 for CPU or 6+2 for GPU. I also want heavier gauge wire for the high current connections.*
Several very nice aftermarket available where you can specify exactly what you want down to the exact length even and they will do a custom order for you. *
What PSU? Corsair makes custom kits for most of their offerings and aftermarket sellers have ready made kits on the shelf as well.*

I'm starting to get really frustrated by this. The only solutions I keep finding online are to basically give my CPU 1/2 the power it's supposed to receive.
I cannot find a cable with a single 8-pin EPS 12V connector that connects directly to the PSU. If anyone knows where to find one of these, please let me know.
Has anyone had any luck fitting a 4+4 into the 8-pin connector on the MB? If anyone has please let me know what PSU is doing that.
Honestly, how hard is it to make a single 8-pin power connector? Do I have to do it myself?
Sorry for the rant, but this is getting on my nerves. A $3.00 connector is preventing a $2,000.00 purchase.
Cablemods makes good cables, excellent as a matter of fact but they take a few weeks to get. Lots of choices in material and colors*
The 4 + 4 pin cables connect together to fit in the 8 pin connector on the motherboard, some motherboards have an 8 pin and 4 pin connectors so power supply manufacturers have designed the power cables to either connect into one 4 pin or together into the 8 pin connector.
I do like the cable mod braided cables, they make a big difference in looks

Yes, the 6+2 can be connected together for the 8 pin on your Video card
Oh the 4+4 works without a doubt. Most PSUs come with that for adaptability. Like Menthol said you get a 6+2 for the PCIE power because some of the more budget minded cards dont use two 8 pin. Example GTX 1080 uses 8 pin and 6 pin.
Like I said before I order up what I need as I like the aesthetics better and I dont have to wrestle the 2 pieces into one every time Im messing with it. My board the R6E has one 8 pin and one 4 pin header. My PSU came with an 8 pin and a 4+4. On initial build I just left the extra 4 pins tucked behind until I could take an inventory and order excatly what I needed. Try running dual GPUs, pretty much none of them come with enough cables.
