was wondering since I have a graphiocs card requiring 2x 8prong plugs so im using one 8prong plug asnd one 6prong adapter. the adapte. if I don't need the adapter id much prefer to get the 18bucks back it cost however I do want wich is best.

my question is wich is better 2x molex to 8pin adapter or a 6pin adapter to an 8pin plug

Two molex isn't necessarily better, unless you know whether the molex are on the +12v rail. The 6-pin to 8-pin will be fine, your power supply has plenty of amps to cover it.

Ahmadjon, I'm sad to see for the first time you don't have a ! at the end of your sentence :(

same powersupply 650watt however the graphiocs card is a radeon 280x. and actualy I answered my own question becauyse if I rember right it has 3x 12v rails so id guess maybe one for the cpu, one for the graphics and one 12v rail on molex for everything else. that's just a guess but I know thewre is 3x twelve volt rails

Then two molex to 8pin will be your best bet!
