Question Does using a 6 pin power cable makes Pci express idle?

hello guys
i want to know when i'm using 6 pin power connector, does this extra power is added to what is the limits of Pci express OR 6 pin would supply all the power that card needs altogether?

The card will draw power from both the PCIe slot and the 6 pin connector. So combining the limits of the slot and the 6 pin connector (75W each), the spec says the card could draw up to 150W.
