So I've put an XFX R9 280x GPU and a CoolerMaster V550s PSU in my first computer build but cant figure out for the life of me how to connect the two, the GPU instructions very specifically say to use 2 individual 6pin connectors ór 2 individual 8pin ones, bc the 2 connectors supposedly need seperate power feeds, sure ok. But the card itself only has a single 6pin and a single 8pin! So while I figure using the 8 pin slot as a 6 to go 2x6 works but in that case the 8pin connector on the card would be utterly pointless because you cant use it without a second 8 pin?
To compound my troubles the PSU does have 2x 6+2pin connectors so it should be able to go upto 2x8 but they seem to run from one and the same cable so that might not be ok either?
