yea, my video cards did. that's what im using right now. I honestly hate them thats why i made this thread. lol.
As a last resort i'll take the money i saved for liquid cooling and get a new PSU or sell this one, and another 600w i have for a new one, or just buy adapters, i don't know what to do yet.

yes, which is being used by my motherboard. Im talking about PCI-E 6-Pin and 8-Pin's.
Sorry about that, I should've made that clearer in the original post.

8-pin PCIe and 8-pin EPS have different pinouts.
8-pin EPS has different keying than PCIe plugs.

You may need to jump the extra pins.

lol, im trying to save up for a good liquid cooling system. any money i do save right now is good. Im going to leave it as is for now, then sell this PSU and my other one and pick up a new one, or if someone want's to trade for like a 850W or above, feel free to pm me.

well see, that to me doesn't sound like a good idea. lol, thanks for the help though! i'll just go out and get an antec 850w or 1000w psu.

Jump the pins does the same thing.... or you can splice on a new plug.

If i replace the plug (from 6 to 8) what steps would i take to make this 6 pin PCI-E connector a 8 Pin PCI-E connector.
Sorry if im being a bit buggy, im tired, sleepy, not great with power supplies, and just need this out of the way. lol
thanks!

lol, yes im that picky!, the smallest things bother me for some reason. The cable management is awsome though. I also need some more molex connectors freed up for a Liquid cooling system, fan controller, and a few other things. the adapters hog all my molex connectors. D:
