(had to peel off some excess plastic to make it fit <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />)p.s. i did some digging around and apparently those 2pins are not providing any power to the gpu. it's just some extra ground pin and a sense pin.you can also buy a 2 x 6pin to 8pin adapter but I am not confident about those crappy chinese adapters.find out the ratings of your 6pin cables and do the math to figure out how much the gpu might be pulling from the 8pin under full load</blockquote>
