Sup guzz, i dont know how to explain this but my GPU needs 2x PCIe 6pin cables! Can i use a PCIe cable with 2 six-pin connectors, or should i plug one 6 pin from one cable and one 6 pin from the other?! I got this PSU: http://www.coolermas...s-series/v550s/
If you dont understand, then click the link and look at the cables that you get with the PSU, for clearance!

GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 280 Dual-X

Assuming you meant this power supply: http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/modular-vs-series/v550s/

Looking at the connectors, it only states that you have two PCI-E 6+2 cables (not one cable with two PCI-E 6+2 connectors). Even if one cable did have two PCI-E connectors, I'd probably use two separate cables.

Alright, what does defer means, english is not my primary language! Will the GPU get damage'd if i use the connectors on just one cable?

Use your awesome mod powers™ and look back to a discussion that we had just yesterday on installing a GTX 790 with the same cable situation. I'd link you, but I've stopped following the thread - it was getting onto other meaningless stuff. IIRC, VIC 40 (another mod) also posted on it.
