Always look at it when you buy a PSU, check the cables! Don't just assume that a PSU that has a high wattage is cabled with 4 times a PCI-e.

 

You could indeed use the molex to 6+2 pin adepters.

Corsair had been notorious for providing poor connectivity in respect to the PCI-E cables on their ~650w units. The GS, TX, and HX was like that, despite units from other brands units that uses the same platform has four PCIe cables. Such as the XFX Core Edition 650w offer four of them natively, whereas the Corsair TX650v2 only has two, and they are both the Seasonic SS-650AT internally. Same with the HX650v2. It's based off of the Seasonic G 650w, but the SS has four as well.

 

Thankfully, they have finally listen and offer four of them on the RM650.

Hah, yeah I honestly didn't care to much about it, I figured I would very likely not SLI anyway.
