How do i plug the the GPU in? :(

[Nadbuddy]

Hi! I've been working on my first PC build for the past 3-4 hours or so and almost plugged in all the stuff..

 

I got a GTX 780 which has a 6-pin and an 8-pin and the motherboard i have (Gigabyte Z97X-SLI) has a cable with a 6-pin+2 and a 4-pin but together.. ill show u my paint skills what i mean the cable being together.

The thing is im not sure thats how to do it, but i thats just my guess how it works, im a total newbie at this and i need whatever help i can C:

MEOWOEWOEOWAMDmsodmadsmdapsd I know 6pin + 8pin, just tired atm lemme edit the picture

 

The cable looks weird and im not sure if im suppose to plug it in that way. Ive never seen a cable that goes like that ._.

Yep nope

Your GPU has an 8 pin and 6 pin, you miss counted. Your motherboard has an 8 pin. The cables for the GPU 8pin and motherboard 8 pin are different, they have different shapes and notches so you can tell the difference.

I believe that's how it worms, you snap the 6 + 2 together, an then plug them in as an 8 pin.

EDIT: Welllll worms happens.

Thats how you do it, i plug in my it was 2 6 pin. You connect both of them on what you described on.

Normally a 780 has a 6-pin connector and an 8-pin (6+2) connector. You should use the correct cable from your PSU (usually 2x 6+2 connectors at the end) and just plug them in.

@Nadbuddy What power supply do you have installed in your desktop?

I'm having a huge problem with understanding of what you're trying to convey here.

 

The 780 only requires a 8 & 6pin pci-e power

6pin + 8pin sorry guys, im tired, 00.55 and been working..

I'd like to also mention don't plug the 8 pin eps for your cpu into your gpu 8 pin. It'll not boot up.

[Henleyz]

You plug it in the way you have it done on paint...

[Sauron]

you got it right

Oh yeah don't worry.. i found that 4+4 pin cable and couldnt fit it anywhere else.. so i put it somewhere nearby the CPU.. on an 8pin  

 

WELP: It seems like people agree to my professional paint picture so i guess i'll start plugging shit in again after i get some sleep..

Oh by the way.. any tips on how i can kinda.. tidy up the cables? I get depressed looking at the cables all around.
