    Yea I've done a few that way but most are Molex or sata to 6pin haven't found too many 6 pin to eight pin converters this is actually how the actual 8 pin power supplies are connected from factory I just decided to add the two extra pins in their respective slots if you have some extra pins or wires around is a good work around.

    Why would you instruct people to create a fire hazard.? First that supply 310 watts is barely enough to supply power to a Motherboard and CPU at idle never mind the power demands that the GPU will place on it. 2 jumping wires at the plug is not the same as running a second wire from the source, the added current demand placed on the single wire you jumperd to will cause it to heat up and cause a fire hazard. Finaly just a warning By posting a video detailing how to doing somthing foolish you are placing yourself in a position to be legally liable if the procedure in the video results in the video card to short out or burn up or cause a fire do yourself a favor and delete it. There is a reason why the card requires the wire circuits is Because it needs them

    Most PSUs from 2010 and beyond have a 6pm connector design that has 3 12-volt pins instead of just 2, and those connectors are actually rated for 150W like a regular 8 pin/6+2 pin connector. All the extra 2 pins do are Sense and GND.

    ​​​@@RhuanTob The 6 18awg wires can easily handle up to 300+ W in total. With standard ATX power supplies, the 2 extra pins on 6 pin connectors give clearance for a maximum 150W draw, and 75W if otherwise. The only concern should be whether or not the rail can supply enough for the connected devices. So in theory, using a 6 to 8 pin adapter is fine.

    Q: Dont work with only 6pin connector? aditional 2pins conector is really necesary? Extra 2 pins adapters... sound as more problems, more probabilty of fault... burn, toast, etc. I think if you card is rated below >120w you can only put 6pin connector... in the fact 6pin conector can deliver as 216w (not only 75w as many people says.... think about it how a 2 extra ground can multiply this to 2 how 3positive can deliver 75w with 3negative and 150w with 5negative... is not possible... power is same, and paths to ground has many many many in many pins)

    If your pc is not blue screening or crashing probably not, could be a cpu or gpu bottle neck, or both items need to be upgraded lower down your graphics settings also running benchmarks usually pushes the cpu and gpu to the max I burned out a bunch of older cards that way from creating too much heat. Im almost 100 percent is not the pins also didnt quite understand if you actually did the mod or your gpu is missing the pins from the power supply, but your still able to use the card with the missing pins, in some instances some cards do power up with only one 8 or six pin connector but can't really remember which one's I do remember hearing something similar from Brian, from tech yes city.
