Just got one of these bad boys from ebuyer, due to an RMA.
My motherboard is currently Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3, which uses the 4pin adapter to run the cpu.
My psu is corsair hx620, which although modular, has by default, a 4 pin, a 8pin, and a 24pin coming out of it.
Now the 4870x2 requires a 6pin pci-e adaptor (which i have) and an 8-pin.
i do also have a 6+2pin adapter,
but my question was can i use the 8pin that is meant for the cpu to power the gfx?
Thanks in advance
