I have GA H81mHD3 and coolermaster extreme 500w psu. My psu has 1 6pin connector and 1 4+4 pin connector. I purchased asus dual rx 580 8gb that supports only 8 pin.

Now i bought power converter from market and that is molex to 4pin connector.i bought 2 of these to make 8pin.

I just want want to will be safe to give power to motherboard by these 2 molex to 4pin connectors and connect 8 pin connector of psu with gpu??

Alright but I just want to know will this mothod work?
If you are trying to burn down your house it might work.

Even if your current psu had the proper connections I'd still be recommending replacement as the extreme series were absolute trash and known system killers.

Also the 8-pin eps connector for the motherboard will not work in the gpus 8-pin pci-e power connector.
