I have no idea what you mean.

Withholding information is a game.

It won't cause any damage. No reason it should.

It doesn't have as many grounds.

 

You should not do this, as it will kill the GPU slowly over time.

Molex to 8pin PCIe adaptor. 

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.

Two things:

Yes.

If you were meant to put just a 6 pin into an 8 pin port (read:leaving 2 empty), wouldn't it just be a 6pin?
