Converting a 6+2pin to 6pin

[Jambock]

Hello folks,

 

I'm trying my first adventures on sleeving power cables. The thing is I have an OCZ ZX850W which have only 8pin exits, and a HD7950 with two 6pin connector. Until deciding on sleeving my power cables that came with the PSU I had no problem with the +2pin hanging out of the 6pin, but now I've decide to get rid of them on behalf of my rig good looks.

 

My question is: can I just not connect the 2 cables coming out of the 8pin side on to the +2pin?

 

PS.: Sorry for the not resized pics.  :unsure:

yes its meant for that

Yep, that will work fine.

Right! It's called a 6+2, because the extra two pins are completely optional! 

[WinNut]

yes, it's supposed to be like that in case you don't need the +2 part

Wow, you guys are fast!

 

I know probably was a newbie question but I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else.

 

Thank you!
