My question is if i can put 2 6 slot PCI-E Plugs into one 8 slot graphics card? Like put 4 of the things from both of the 6 slots into the 8 slot? Would that Work?

I think you'll need a dual 6 pin to 8 pin adapter for that because two 6 pin connectors simply won't fit into an 8 pin connector. Not because 6+6 is more than 8 but because the pins won't align properly. I'm afraid you'll have to get one of those adapters if you don't have a 6+2 pin power connector on hand.


Yes there are dual 6-pin to single 8-pin adapters

if you have a 6+2 cable you dont need adapters
