I'm installing my power supply unit (PSU) and I have a quick question about the cables. I understand that the top cable connects to the motherboard, but I'm unsure about the two cables at the bottom. Should I be connecting both the 18-pin and the other cable, or just the 18-pin? Any help is appreciated!

You definitely need to plug both the 18-pin and the 10-pin cables into the PSU. They shouldn't be ignored because they help deliver the power your motherboard needs to function properly.
Honestly, why would you not want to connect all power cables to your motherboard? It's best to make sure everything is plugged in for reliable performance!
Make sure to connect both cables in the PSU, specifically into the ports labeled 'ATX 24P.' They split them up to save space, but both are important for providing full power.
Yep, both cables should be plugged in!
