I got a dual molex to 6 pin connector with one hole thingy and I had a 2 pin connector so I used a 2 pin and the dual molex to 6 pin and pluged in the 6 pin and the 2 pin to the gpu I have alot of 6 pins in my gpu but I used the dual molex to the 6 pin since I tought its special :/ so I basicly did (2 pin + 6 pin (with one empy hole)) instead 8 pin is that a problem ? since I got some freezing and fps drop and shit :s
 
Solution
OK thanks for the picture, this isn't ideal but should work, turn your 6pin into an 8 with adapter to power the 8pin slot and use your duel molex to power the 6pin slot.
The 8pin connection on any GPU is the most important and should be directly from the PSU, I have used a duel molex to 6pin before to power a 6pin connection but would never use it for an 8pin. Does you PSU come with a 8 and 6 pin and what is the wattage?
