Are the two types of PCIe power connectors electrically compatible? The 6 pin connector will physically mate with an 8 pin slot I just don’t know if it’s a fertile relationship.
I realise that cards with an 8 pin connector typically require more power than a 6 pin connector can provide but there are some cases where it can provide enough power provide the card isn’t over-clocked.
Also I’ve seen Sapphire cards with an 8 pin socket that include a dual Molex to PCIe 6 pin cable which suggests that it may work.
