How Do People Individually Sleeve 6+2?!

When I ask that I mean the kind that has the little dangly bit coming out of the 6 pin.

They sleeve all the way to the 6 pin, then for the +2 they sleeve its wires?

They do a spice the second wire into the main wire and hide the splice behind the motherboard tray:

From my knowledge the extra 2 pins are just extra grounds to handle the extra power draw of something that uses an 8 pin. So instead of splitting off 2 extra grounds right at the pcie connector split them off at the power supply pcie connector and run the extra grounds up as normal wires.

I don't think those wires would be anywhere near long enough, are you suggesting getting new wires for the extra 2 pins?

They are sleeved intothe cable further  back. Generally though they make you chose between either a 6 pin or 8 pin

Yea sorry I thought that was obvious :P So yes just use new wires and splice the extra 2 into the 2 grounds on the 6 pin. I guess I should mention you can do the splicing anywhere along the 2 main grounds for the 6 pin, so like in that video linked above he does it so the spliced part is behind the motherboard tray so you can't see them.
