Oh thank goodness, you asked EVERYWHERE...
And it says it's fine? Phew, big relief there. You should have started with that. Well, it seems that you don't need any help since it's fine.

I meant like I saw everywhere to check if using an adapter is not dangerous and all them said it’s fine like as in it’s not dangerous, either way for some reason it didn’t happen again when I played on very high settings but I suppose a gpu s fan going faster while loading very high settings is fine right? Because I suppose it needs to like cool the temperature down?

It's not fine to use a 6pin to 8 pin adapter. 6pin can deliver 75w and 8pin 150w. You are asking from a cable designed and made for 75w to deliver 150w. That will lead to anything from damaging PSU, damaging GPU, melting the cable, starting a fire, damaging other components among others. It's NOT fine.

It all depends on the PSU quality but I highly doubt that you have a good one since it does not have a 8pin connector. If a PSU does not the necessary connections for a GPU, is not meant to power said GPU.

As for the fans being louder under load, it's normal. As you said it is to cool faster the GPU

Aw man so am I forced to buy another PSU ? Because right now everything seems fine and I double checked online people didn’t mention the same as you did, by that I mean that they did say that it is dangerous but it’s not like it would be that serious, I checked task manager and everything seems ok like the temperature and the usage and games run smooth too on very high settings

Also just want to mention, I noticed that my PSU is has a 6 pin then 2 pins next to it on the same cable so could I use that for the 8 pin instead of the adapter from 6 to 8? I searched online it seems fine

 

[dotas1]

Yes, 6+2 is a 8 pin. Use that for sure.

It IS bad to use an adapter. People who said it's fine, don't know what they are talking about. Search this forum a bit and see for yourself if there is an issue with using adapters. The only acceptable is using 2x 6pin to 8pin which is the same wattage.

Unless it's a 2 x 6 pin to 8 pin, and even then you need to ensure the wire gauge on said adapter is sufficient to carry the requisite current, adapters are a big no no.

I personally wouldn't even use a good 2 x 6 pin to 8 pin adapter, I'd buy a suitable PSU, but I know some users do without issue.

That's what you need to use.
