8 PIN Asus GTX 970 STRIX

[Krajko]

Hello guys,
I have one important question. Today my Asus GTX 970 came, and I noticed it has 8 PIN plug, my PSU has 6+2 PIN cables(from one cable, comes 2x 6+2 PIN cables, its bequiet P10 550W).
Looks like this.

So i connected one of those 2 pairs and everything looks fine, white bright led is shinin' , only thing that bothers me is the shape of last 2 pin.

The ground 2 pin from my PSU look like this:

You can see there 2 pins, both triangle(?) shape.

And on the card the last 2 pins are one triangle shape and one square shape:

So my question is. It pluged in with out using any strong force, just like it fits, but its still bothers me 🙁 Did I connect it properly? Or perhaps I should order other cable...

Thank you very much for your help.

You should have no problems, I see your concern but a 6+2 pin is the same as a 8 pin connection.

Can you send the exact model of your PSU so I can confirm for you quickly, just to be safe?

Also, made some testing. Card is pretty noisy in stress, I assume it can be coil whine. Even setting vsync at 60, in GTA V or Witcher 3 doesnt solve issue.
I read it is very common issue in 970's. Is that true? Any possible solution for this?

Perhaps its a problem that card is stock OCed,

Also no idea why its running at 1316Mhz instead of 1253 as it says in specification?

Thank you for your help.

That PSU should work fine and no issues I see with the connections. As far as the noise levels, I have the Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 with Windforce and it is silent...maybe it's just the Asus card you have. I know the STRIX version is a bit quieter from what I hear.

It the card is stock OC, that is why your clock speeds are higher than spec.
