Hello,
I just bought a gigabyte Radeon R9 280x. It has 2 places to connect power, an eight slot as well as a six. My power supply is a Corsair HTX 850w. The cables running out of the power supply marked PCI-E are 6+2 connectors. Do I use 6 pins or 8 pins for my connection? Or does the video card need power running to both sockets? Also, this is a huge card, and towards the front end (the end not connected) it sags a bit. Is this okay?
