System: Dell XPS 8700 i4770, 3.4 ghz, 24 Gigs Ram, 550SSD, PSU-Stock (470-480W) Dell/Delta
New nVidia GTX-1070 Founder's Edition with 8-Pin PCI Power receptacle
Issue: Current PSU only has 2 6-PIN cables available (one was/is powering stock GPU, an nVidia GTX 645)
Question: any real risk involved with plugging the 6-Pin cable from the PSU into the GPU's 8-Pin receptacle?
I've looked at several forums and there seems to be conflicting info about simply getting some sort of adaptor (this would be difficult as I live in a developing country) VS just plugging the 6-Pin in (something about the 'extra 2 pins are not really needed). Can I do any of this without also having to replace the PSU? Thanks!
