I'm setting up my Corsair 750 SF power supply, and I'm wondering if the 8-pin cable for the CPU needs to be connected to the specific 8-pin slot on the PSU labeled 'CPU'. Or can it go into any of the 8-pin connectors available on the PSU? Any insights would be appreciated!

Yes, the CPU and PCIe cables are designed differently, so they shouldn't fit into each other's connectors. If your PSU allows you to plug an EPS cable into a PCIe slot without any issues, that might be a unique feature of your model.
Just a heads up, typically the CPU and GPU cables aren't interchangeable. It's safest to plug the CPU cable into the identified 'CPU' slot to avoid any power issues.
You might want to double-check your specific PSU model. In many cases, the 8-pin connectors can be used for either CPU or PCIe cables. For the SF750, just plug the CPU cable into one of the labeled slots without worry!
