so i was thinking of getting the kfa2 gtx 1070 as its the cheapest and people say its fine. theres no problem with that. i am just confused because it has an 8pin power slot and also a 6 pin in total 14 pins. are they made so that you can run the 1070 of only 6 or 8 or do i need to use 14 pins to even run it at all

if it has both connectors you are meant to use both
though to be honest not sure why you would need a 6 pin as well on a gtx1070

so i have a 6 pin which can pair with a 2 pin and another making 16. 6+6+2+2 on an evga 600W Bronze im guessing thats fine? i dont need to worry about the shapes on the pwoer connectors the 1070 should have the right shapes? because i have enough pins

you need to use both
its just the way they designed it for some reason
the fact its factory overclocked doesnt really justify the additional 6 pin connector
with just an 8 pin my gtx1070 boosts to a solid 2100mhz no problem which is bound to be a good bit higher than their factory overclock
most gtx1070 i have seen stick with just the 8 pin as its a power efficient card
