I just upgraded from a GTX 770 4GB GPU to a EVGA GTX 980 Superclocked ACX 2.0. My 770 required one eight-pin connection and one six-pin connection which my PSU has but the 980 only requires two six-pin connections. The eight-pin connection that my PSU has is separated into a 6+2 pin connection and I was wondering if it'll work fine with the 980 if I plug in the 6-pin section of the 6+2 pin connector along with the other 6-pin connector and leave the the left over, separated 2-pin section unconnected.

Sorry if that was a bit confusing.

Okay, thanks! I was pretty sure that's how it was done but I started to get worried because my 980 is being shipped to me right now and would have been really disappointed if I had to buy a new PSU before I could use it. Now I can sleep well tonight lol.
