I noticed that my Corsair HX620W only came with two 6pin PCI-E cables and no 8 pin for the new video card I just got (Evga 280GTX), so I sent them email that I needed a 8 pin PCI-E cable.
(Good customer service, replying back within a day and got my cable within 3 business days excluding the weekend)
Anyhow the cable I received splits into a 6 pin and a 8 pin so I was wondering, is it not a good idea to use one 6 pin output to hook up both of the inputs (6 and 8 pin ports) on the card?
Am I supposed to use one output port per input port??
I see that the Corsair HX620W has has two 6 pin outputs on top so I thought maybe one output port goes into one input port on the card but then when you do say SLI and etc where do you get the extra ports?? Molex to 6 & 8 pin power ports??
Just wanted to make sure when I go SLI, I am powering it up correctly.
