[SOLVED] Question about 8 pin to 6x2 +6x2 pin

[NickHN]

Im quite curious about if you can use this as a 8pin to a single 6x2 pin and still get the same performance/wattage, as if you used both? Asking because I only have 2 pcs. 8 pins cords, and both have 2 6x2 pin outputs.

Your question is kind of confusing, but if I understand what you're asking you can use the connections in any combination you like and performance will be the same.

Well, I do not know how to formulate it.
If I had a 8 pin to 6+2 pin and connect it up it can provide up to 150 watts.
If I use my 8 pin to 6+2 pin and then not connect the other 6+2 pin. Will the single 6x2 pin in use still provide up to 150 watts even if the other isn't connected?
" It's probarly a quite stupid question."

Each 8pin (6+2) can deliver up to 150watts.

The tricky part is the terminology you're using, which makes what you're asking confusing. They're just 6-pin or 6+2 pin connectors. They're not 8-pin "to" anything because modular cables are not universal on the side that connects to the power supply. Don't refer to the number of pins on the PSU side because it's a cable, not a conversion process, and the number of pins on the PSU side doesn't matter.
