I have a thread about my graphics card not working. Oh well. whatever. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2318519/msi-270x...

Anyway thats not the point. When i get it running, what cable to the psu should i use? I have 2. one that came with the GPU that requires fills both 6-pins on my GPU and take up 2 6-pins on my PSU. Here it is:https://imageshack.com/i/ey2m4cg8j

My other connector came with the PSU and fills both 6-pins on my GPU but only takes up 1 8-pin on my PSU. Here it is:https://imageshack.com/i/iqZFOWECj

WHICH ONE!?! Is there a difference?

Use the cable that came with your PSU, you have a modular PSU. Meaning that you can take cables off and on with your leisure.

The cable that came with your GPU, is for people who do not have the connections available via PSU. Instead they use the molex connections they have on the PSU(The 4 pins).
