Hi - I'm building a PC for the first time and have a radeon rx480 gtr GPU - it has an 8 pin socket and comes with a splitter cable from 8 pin to 2x 6pins. Should I connect each 6pin to the PSU (novatech 750w powerstation v2 black) - or use an 8 pin to 8 pin connection?
 
Solution
Your PSU should have the necessary 6+2 pin PCIe connector. The adapter provided is only for use with older PSUs that don't have the updated 6+2 pin connector.
