hi all i have a 7870 and it needs two 6 pin cables ...

 

i know i plugged both in but my mind keeps telling me i only plugged one in >.>

 

and i can not open the case again .. not that im lazy its a very big hassle as i need to move the big table and all the stuff out of the way Y_Y

 

is there a way to check it without opening the case ?

It wouldn't display if they aren't plugged in.

Turn it on. If it doesn't then open the case.
