Power connectors to an MSI GTX 970 G4

[nuerosynapse]

I know it's probably a dumb question, but is powering the g4 as I assume?
I have an EVGA Supernova 750w g2. Each vga connector is a 6 + 2 cable.
So I would use one in the 8 pin power (6 + 2 pushed in next to the six) slot and one in the 6 with the 2 pins hanging off?
Thanks, this is my first video card in a long time (since the beige only case options). I am glad that I waited the extra two months b4 buying one, since the 900 series came out and didn't have to get a 750

That's correct, one 6+2 pin fully in the 8-pin opening and one 6+2 pin with the 2-pin hanging off in the 6-pin opening.

8 pins : use the 6 + the 2
6: yes you use the 6 pins that fit and forget about the other 2

Vexillarius: Unfortunately, this Thermaltake 750W ToughPower is not modular. I can't see what the model number is on it without taking out of the case, has a separating chassis covering around it from the rest of the internals to the case.

middlemarkal: I'll do as you stated and just plug in the 6-pins. Appreciate the help! If I have an issue, should I look to a dual 6-pin to 8-pin Y adaptor to handle the additional grounding pins?
