Can I get some help from a smart cookie please? I just got a new Gigabyte Windforce Gtx 980. I see where it requires 2-8 pin connectors. I do not have 2. I am running a cooler master Silent Pro Gold 1200W PSU. Right now I am using 2 PCI-e 6 +2 x 4, of course the issue is I only have two of those both on 1 card. ( not using the x 4 at all) I am planning on running SLI very soon and have no way to connect 2 more 8 pins to another card. Not sure what to do.
Can't you just directly connect the 6+2 (8pin) to the 8pin connectors? You will have 4 8pins which is enough for 2 cards. If needed you could always get peripheral -> 8pin connectors.
Your Power setting should have at least 3 PCIE 8 pin ??? My is 3 PCIE 8pin and the last one using 4+4 to 8 ...
