Searching the net it may be that only the overclocking element requires the 8pin plug in order to work, and without it it'd simply be a standard setting.
Can someone confirm this before I consider proceeding?
If this isn't the case, is it possible to buy a converter for a 6pin to 8pin adaption? Any links to online shops with such items would be appreciated (bear in mind I'm in the UK).
Thanks a lot.
