Does the 6 pin just insert into the 6 pin already part of the psu ?

No. This adapter is meant to take an 8-pin rail and convert it to a 6+2 rail to power graphics cards that only have 6-pin connectors. The 8-pin at the top of the Y is female, so you connect the 8-pin rail from the power supply there; then, use one or both 6+2 connectors on the graphics card. If any part of this is unclear, please tell me in a comment or reply, and I'll clarify.

No, only works one way as an 8pin to 6+2. The only thing the 6 pin will plug into is the hardware itself.

No the 6 pin goes into what ever you need to feed power into. The 8 pin goes into the power supply

There is two pin connector near bottom. But I do not know it is power connector or not. I do not use it. This card does not really use a lot power. Normal PCI slot is enough.

Yes it does. It has a 6-pin PCI-E power connector on the front edge of the board.

It dose not plug into the motherboard it connects with a 4 pin that comes from your PSU. No it dose not affect performance.

No, it's actually 8pin and then 2x (6+2)pins. Amperage aside, you can use the split side for 6pin or 8pin ports.

I believe (by looking at the specs on the EVGA website...since I was too lazy to open my case) that there are 2 PCIE 6+2 Pin connectors on this model.

Came with adapter cable incase you do not have a 6 pin PCI-E cable from your PSU

I bought this about 6 mouths ago and do not recall the number of pins. It seemed to have all that I needed to make it work. I asked the person that bought it for me and he thought it had 2 6 pin connectors.

If you don't see a 4 pin connector you most likely have an 8 pin connector divided into two 4 pin connectors. Use that instead. Your psu has to have a 4 pin or 8 pin motherboard connector though

No, it does not need the 6pin connector to the PS, just plug it to the motherboard and that will do.

Yes. this part has a 6 pin connector. I purchased another item that was 4 pin, got this one as a replacement.

yes the included Power supply have both a 24-pin ATX Power Connector and a 4-pin ATX-12V Power Connector. hope this helps

Yes, you need six pin power. Otherwise it will just lock up. I had that problem even though I had a six pin power plug in my old PSU but it was unable to meet the amperage requirement for this card on the 12V rail

The 8-pin connector slides apart into two 4-pin connectors, only one of which fits in the 4-pin connector on the board. I simply tied the other half up out of the way. Works fine.

For the power supply side of it, for modular power supplies. So the cables would be two 6pin(PSU) to 6+2pin(GPU).

Not really. You just have to make sure your power supply has 2 6-pin plugs for pci

4 pin works fine in an 8 pin slot, just leave half of it free it will run just fine.
