Woah good that i asked here and why?

Sorry I needed to get that out quickly before you destroyed something.

If your PSU does not have the proper 8 pin PCIE cable you need a new PSU, PERIOD.

What you just did that you thankfully didn't turn on could have at a minimum fried your GPU, at worst blown something up and caused a fire.

Messing with PSU wiring is not for anyone who is not VERY experienced in the topic.

Yeah the cheapest solution is don't use the GPU until you can save up.

There are 0 other solutions out there that are not a serious risk. It will cost you a lot more money if you fry your stuff and need to replace it all.
