guys need help here.

i just finish my Used Part build (mostly from Craiglist)

every things work fine but.

 

i have SF Leadex Silver 650w and Gtx 690 (2x8 pin)

there is a VGA  cable (8pin from PSU to 2x 6+2 pin Graphic card) so One cable can power 2x8 pin Graphic card.

cable from that PSU that like this

i have two cable like that.

the question is:

 

since i don't like the way it looks can i just use two of those cable and i reverse (1x 6+2 pin to PSU and 8 pin to Graphic Card)

so it become PSU 6+2 pin X 2 in to 8 pin x 2 for Graphic Card

If you want to run two of the 2x6+2 cables to your graphics card that should be fine. I'm worried, though, because the 690 is a dual-GPU card and I'm not entirely sure if a 650w PSU can handle that.

It won't plug in in reverse and even if it did I wouldn't try it; that could overload the GPU. 650w is cutting it really close though, to the 620.
