Hi guys, I'm installing a new PSU for my Geforce GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 Graphics Card. I got a Corsair 650 TX for it. I'm a little confused when trying to connect the cables to the card. It came with an adapter that has two six pins on one side, and an 8 pin on the other side that goes into the card. The question is, do I need to use both six pins that go into a single 8 pin or just one?

Sorry I still don't understand. The card has one single 8 pin slot. This card also came with an adapter that on one side has an 8 pin connector (which goes into the 8 pin slot of the card), and on the other side ends with two 6 pin connectors. Do I need to connect the 2 PCI E connectors into the two six pin slots? Or do I connect a single PCI E. 6+2 that makes an 8 pin directly into the card?

I have the exact same card as you and I used both branches of the included connection cable and plugged the other end into the 8 pin connection of the PSU. Hasn't done my card any harm
