Just got my new gpu and realise that it uses 8 pins instead of 6 and I was wondering if I need to by an extra part or if I can just use the 6 pin wire.

Um.. whats that cable tied behind the plug?

If you're interested in a product please download and read the manual first.

That is a 6+2 cable you have.. you just have the +2 zip tied down.. combine them and magically you have 8 pins!!!
