I've got a Seasonic Platinum SS-860XP (1st version), which comes with 2 pcie cables that have 12 pins on one end and 2 x 6+2 on the other.
I just got a new EVGA GTX 1080 FTW that requires 2 x 8 pin and have no idea whether I need to use one or both of the above described cables (if I use both, each cable would have one of the 6+2 pin heads on one end dangling.
I am confused because Seasonic recommends this:
not this:
But, I think this recommendation assumes that the power supply has 8 pin pcie connections. Any suggestions?
