Hi Guys.
As you have read, this the problem for me and I am sure others too. Looking online I have gone to the Corsair website and found that my GPU is compatible with my new PSU. My GPU is the one that came out with the Dirt3 game. (http://www.pc-specs.com/gpu/AMD/HD_6000_Series/Radeon_HD_6950_Sapphire_2GB_Edition/1271)
Now how do I connect two GPU's to the PSU?
The GPU's have 2×6(12) pins each. But the PCI-E has only 6+2 & 4+4 CPU pins....
Do I need some sort of connecting cable?


 
Solution
For 8 pin connections, ya use the 6+2 pin cable and plug both parts in
For 6 pin connections, ya use the 6+2 pin cable and plug only the 6 pin part in, leaving the 2 pin part dangling
