[SOLVED] NEED HELP!

[Alwyn19]

I'm planning to buy a Gtx 970 but it needs a 8 and a 6 pin cable

my psu have 2x6pin cable but no 8pin so im planning to buy a 6pin to 8pin coverter or cable to power the gtx 970

Can i use a 6pin to 8pin on A windforce gtx 970 3x ?? wth a true rated 500wtts PSU?

It's not good practice to use adapters.
You can draw to much current through the 6 conductor cables.
Your PSU was designed for 6.....not 8.
I think you could be headed for trouble and I recommend getting the proper PSU with the proper plugs.
