i was building my new system and when i got to installing my graphics card, im in a bit of a hiccup. the card needs two 6 pin power plugs and my psu does feature two plugs but they are on the same parent wire. will simply plugging both in work? or do i need to adapt a molex? thanks in advance.

Don't forget to follow your threads, the bottom on the top right.

I can't help, as I don't know..

Maybe it helps if you post what GPU you're using and the PSU you're using.
