[SOLVED] will an 6 pin to 8 pin adapter work for aorus gtx 1060 ?

What is the male/model of your psu?
If you have a quality psu in the 500w range, you should be ok to use a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter for your GTX1060.
Repeat... QUALITY.
Most such modern psu's will have two 6+2 pin pcie leads and you need to use only one of them.
