I have not been able to use a 9800 GX2 without an 8-pin connector attached. Go ahead and try the two 6-pin connector method...the worst that can happen is your system starting.

Can you fit a 6-pin into the 8-pin socket?

PM me your full address. I'll send you one of my custom ghettoized dual ground connectors made from a Molex to 6-pin cable that I use for PSU reviews on products without the 8-pin connectors. I've got a few I made so I can spare a buck or two to send one to you.

you got it working but its not working? are you apple2gs in disguise? ([H] GenMay refrence).

okay I'm gonna assume you mean it boots and turns on but no video, try the other dvi port, other than that do you get any beeps? also try resetting the cmos/bios
