GTX 980 pin problems

[jrjohns2000]

My psu has a 8 pin but it is split into 2 4pin connectors. I used the 6 to 8 pin adapter the card came with but my psu 8 pin will not work. I just plugged a 6 pin into the 8 pin and left it at that. It turns on an has been running like a champ. Is this going to be a problem? I plan on getting a new psu in a week.

sounds like on your power supply you plugegd the wrong cables into the mb and video card. the 4/4 cable is the one for cpu power. the ones for video card are the 6 plus two pin cable. you may have plugged the 6 plus 2 cable into the cpu power plug.
