Modular PSU - missing some cables to power a R9 390 Strix - solutions

Hello, I recently got another R9 390. This time its the strix edition. I am looking to give it to my friend in exhange for his 1050ti, to help him out a little. His PSU can run it, but I didnt get to test the gpu yet and would like to do it before going to him and installing it in his system. My Nexus RX 6300 is missing most of the modular cabelage, only having 1x8PIN PCI-e despite supporting up to (4?) of them. I dont even have molex to use it to convert to pcie 6pin (it would WORK for 10 minutes just to check if the card displays). Can I use my SilentiumPC Supremo FM2 Gold´s modular cables to test this gpu, or is there a way of running it without the 6pin, or should I just get a molex to 6pin?

 

There is no way ill buy a separate gpu to do this, i dont care if its a bit risky to check, ill use an AM3 board so there is not much to lose. I need to know if it displays. Which of these is the best option?

 

Edit: I know these are stupid ideas, I just really need to check

You sure it want an IDE from the middle East?

 

Anyhow, molexs would not be safe

Best course of action. Also don't forget to DDU the drivers

Yeah, definitely don't use Molex to PCIe with a 390.
