I've purchased an Asus gtx 780 and there are absolutely no indications on how to plugg the card.
There are two females pluggs on the card: a 8pin and a 6Pin,

they also provided a cable (with yellow and black and brown wires) that has 2x6pins Female . The other end has a 8 Pin male (should go on PSU i believe)
now my question is, how do I exactly plug this? i've tried booting and it says to plugg the PCIE power cords and reboot..

I tried plugging a cable with a dual 6 male pins header to the GPU provided dual female cable but I have nothing for the 6 pins female which is located on the GPU, does it need to be plugged? Ive tried booting without and the screen was green.... OMG
 
Solution
the stock cooler has the needed amount already added when bought so if you only set it one time it's no problem.

no, the pc won't blow up. relax

I just did that, the message is gone but my BIOS opens and everything is green, it says my CPu is at 85 degrees celcius...

no, i did not. The computer screen was green, and rebooted itself after a minute. I have double checked every wire destination plug in the motherboard booklet and i have no idea why the CPU overheats (plus green screen.. damn that computer is all brand new)

Do you have any idea what i should do? it's an i5 stock cooler

There was no thermal grease provided.. But the CPU is now stable at 49-55 C and fan is working, Could the green screen be my GPU driver that's not installed yet?
Also, is the absence of thermal grease gonna make my PC blow up?

About the greenish screen, could it be the GPU drivers? It never happened to me before. and its kinda stressing me right now.
