Okay, i’m new to the whole PC building scene so bear with me.

There are lots of similar questions like mine but i’m not sure if many are exactly my situation.

I have a rtx 2070 which has a 8 pin and 6 pin power connector on it. My PSU(the corsair rmx650) has two pcie cables that come with it, and each has two 6+2 plugs on it. If i connect a 6+2 in the 8, no problem but connecting to the six leaves a set of two connectors hanging. Is this okay?
I don’t really know if this is alright or if i should be doing something else.

Any info or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, it's ok, it means your psu can support up to graphic cards who have 2 x 8 pin connectors.
