On some models it is permitted. If you can, that information will be in the motherboard manual.

Full specs please.
Also detailed psu description as if it does not have an 8pin it almost always means it's garbage.

MSI writes in the manual that the 8-pin connector needs to be connected to a proper power supply to ensure proper operation.

You really should NEVER use these. It can't provide the power an 8 pin can and you are just tricking the pc into thinking more power is available then really there is. This can break a motherboard or other parts.
