2 x 8 pin - cables

I would always be a little cautious of a PSU that isn't able to run 2x8 pin connectors. Too many times people skimp on the PSU (not saying you have) and find themselves having issues.
What make of PSU is it? And if it is a decent one, no probs using that 6 to 8 pin converter.

so.. in simple terms can i use a single power cable (1x6 + 1x8) attach the 8 pin then attach the adapter to the 6pin to give me 8 pins? sooo confusing!
just want to know if i can only use one PSU able vs 2.
What PSU is it exactly?
You need to check how many rails and how many watts per rail etc.
Even then, i personally would not use a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter when the PSU itself has 2 native 8-pin's available

It doesn't have 2x 6+2 rather than just 8 that you haven't noticed because the extra 2 pin is hanging down somewhere does it? I know my psu is like this.
EVGA P2
Looking at the specs, it comes with 2 x 6+2 pin connectors, so you should have 2x8 pins already.
