Can I run Msi Gtx 970 without the PSU's 6+2 pin cable?I want to run it with the PSU's 8 pin cable in one socket of the GPU and keep the other one empty by not inserting the PSU's 6+2 pin cable.Will my GPU run fine if I do this ?

Should work. Performance and stability are not guaranteed though. 1 8 pin supplies 150 W and the stock 970 only needs 145 W.

If the card has two connectors it needs two connectors connected to work!
