my power supply has a 8pin and a 6-pin cable, but the 8-pin is already being used by the motherboard. how do i use the 8-pin adapter that came with it? it looks like:
am i supposed to plug TWO regular 4pin power cables into BOTH of those mouths? like what i've done here? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9FAsJVB2g1qQlhrcF9Sd0YxSGs/view?usp=sharing
i dont want to turn my comptuer on until i get confirmation this is OK.
is it better for me to use this adapted 8-pin on the r9 290 , or the motherboard? which requires more power?
thanks!
