Power connectors?

[CuriousAmateur]

I really want to put a GTX 560 into my case, but the Nvidia site says it needs two 6 pin connectors.
So I cracked open my case and I found this:

Is that considered to be 1 of these connectors or 2? If I plug them both into the GTX 560 will it work?

Thanks

Probably but it would still be better to try and split the power over two feeds from the PSU instead of loading up just the one.

That is considered to be two connectors, it is quite common for two of them to be on the same cable, it isn't an issue the wires are more than capable of supporting that level of current, an 8 pin connector provides twice the power of a 6 pin connector with the same number of yellow 12 V lines. Assuming it only wants 2 6 pin connectors those two will work just fine.
