T TAGD Honorable Jan 9, 2014 72 0 10,630 Jan 25, 2014 #1 Hi, so the requirements for this card is one 8pin cable and one 6pin pci-e cable, would it make a difference if I use a 6+2pin pci-e (the 2pin is a normal psu cable)cable and a normal 6pin cable?

Solution cuecuemore Jan 25, 2014 6+2 works just fine, hardly anything comes as an actual 8-pin anyway.

woltej1 Splendid Nov 15, 2010 3,534 1 24,960 Jan 25, 2014 #3 When they say 8 pin they pretty much mean 6+2. 6+2 is the standard PCIe cable pretty much, that way it is usable in a 6 pin or 8 pin slot. Upvote 0 Downvote
