I recently purchased an EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3, and plugged it into my current system without any issues. However when it came to powering it, none of my cables would suffice as they are too short and I have no adapters.
I do however have a spare VGA cable. I need to fit two 4x2 (8 pin) cables onto the GPU in order to power it properly, and both VGA cables have a 4x2 connector, as well as a 3x2 (6 pin) and another 3x2 alongside an additional 1x2 (2 pin) sticking out from the side. The 3x2 + 1x2 make a 4x2 just fine but if I connect both of the cables to the GPU then the cables stick out of the case and won't make it to the power supply.
What do I do? Am I able to use both of my VGA cables without frying the card or do I have to buy an adapter?
PSU: EVGA SuperNova G2 650W.
