Quick question. I have the Sapphire Radeon R9 390 Nitro. It has 2 6+2 pin connectors (not sure why we don't just say 8 pin, but sure). What I'm wondering is...well, I have a cord with 2 of the 6+2 pin connectors on it, but running through a single line to the PSU. Am I getting enough power this way? Should I run 2 separate 6+2 cords to the GPU from the PSU? Thanks!

Already have. :/ Someone thinks it may be a mobo issue, and recommended clearing my CMOS. I tried looking it up, and it looks more confusing than anything.

yes clear cmos. are you overclocked? also Locate the round, flat, silver battery on the motherboard and carefully remove it. Wait five minutes before reseating the battery. Clearing theCMOS should always be performed for a reason – such as troubleshooting a computer problem or clearing a forgotten BIOS password

I saw that. That was for mobos with a BIOS. Mine involves jumpers, because I have UEFI. Fun stuff. And yes, I'm oc'd to 3.7Ghz on an FX-8300
