I got Corsair cs750m PSU and I ofered and another corsair cables ( reds ).originaly there are two Pce cables going from the psu and are split on the into 8 pin and 6+2 on the end. Currenly a have connected only one of those psu pce-i (8 and 6+2 )cables to my gpu. The new pce cables are just 6+2 on the end. My quetion is if i can connect those new cables to the slots where originaly were the cables splitted on the end. I am affraid that i could overpower the gpu and destroy it. Or if it is even copatible
Sorry for that dump question and i hope youll undesrtand what i am asking.

i'm not completely sure what you mean,

but if you graphics card has 2 8pin connectors, then plug in the 8 pin in the first one, and the 6+2 pin in the second one, make sure all 8 pins are plugged in.

if you mean, you have new (and different cables) and can you use them, then I would ask are they corsair cables? there are no standards for cables at the psu end, and so if it fits, it does not mean that it works, and if it doesn't work, it will be very very bad.

All right. I'll tray different way. On my psu you can connect two gpus with 2x8 pin docks on each card. But from psu there are not four modular 8 pins, there is just two cables each splited into two 8 pin. There is no option to connect ( on psu ) four 8pin pce. So I need to use one 8pin where actualy goes out two. So i connect power of four 8pins in two 8pin slots in card. That what i am tryin to explain and ask if it is possible.

yes, that is possible, you won't put too much power on your PSU or GPU's.
it is designed so that you can power 2 GPU's that have 2x 8 pin connectors on them.
just make sure all 4 connectors are plugged in and you're good to go!
