[SOLVED] Can you plug in the 6+2 vga connectors into the psu and use just the 8 pin in the graphics card?

Can I plug in the the 8 pin sides of the vga cables so that I don’t have excess clutter of 6 6+2 pins in my case?

No. The pinouts for the PSU end are different from power supply brands. Only the 6+2 ends are the same and they must go to the video card. You may end up releasing the magic smoke if you try it. It probably won't fit correctly anyway.
