Hello all,
so i'm building my first rig with 6 Sapphire Rx 580 nitro + , I notice they have 2 power connectors one 8 pin and one 6 pin, I'm using 2 cooler master 750w PSUs which offer me 6+2 pin power cables
the question is: is it safe to use only the 6+2 cable to power each GPU ? even if I plan to use the overclock bios switch ?
Thanks !

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.
