Solution
Well you can't you need to buy a new psu with x2 6 pin connectors. There is a adapter that converts 3 pin connector to 6 pin but that too requires x2 3 pin connectors.
What is the make/model of your psu?
Make/model of the graphics card?
If it does not have the connectors you need, the psu is likely a cheaper unit that can not supply the extra power in the first place.
A GTX1050ti is about the strongest card available that will run without aux power.
