I just got a new R9 280x gpu. I'm using a 3 sided pci-e connector. Here's the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812198035&cm_re=6_pin_pci_express_power_cable-_-12-198-035-_-Product
I'm using the 6+2 pin pci-e to plug into my gpu and modular psu. The connector fits fine into the psu, but won't go in all the way. I had a previous gpu in there but it only required one 6 pin pci-e so I didn't have the problem. Could you tell me why the 6+2 pin pci-e won't fit into the 6 pin pci-e slot?
