[THECHiLLINKiLLER]

So i just bought off my friend his old graphics card because he got a new one for christmas and he didnt have the cord that goes from the psu to power the card but i have a cord that came with my psu that has 8 pin but its split 2 and 6 can i use that to power my card?

Yes

If you have the same number of pins on the graphic card and it fits, yes you can use it. Also check if you have enough wattage and efficiency on your psu.

I know i have enough wattage because i have a 650 watt and my graphics card only has 6 pins on it so its okay to hook up the 8 pin split into 6 and 2 pin

If your wire/cable has the ability to split from 8 to 6, yes.

alright thanks for all the help i was just making sure that its ok to have 6 pins plugged in and the other 2 just hanging off
