My PSU has 1 6+2 connector, my new video card has an 8 pin and a 6 pin. Googling I read conflicting things about how to handle this. A few people recommended getting a 6+2 y adapter. A few others said no no no and to get a new PSU. My PSU's plenty powerful enough, Corsair 520 watt (i5, 7950) I can some what see the no people's stance. But I'm not too sure that using a splitter will put un-needed stress on the rail.
My question is, is there any reason I should go with a PSU that 2 6+2 connectors out of the box over using a splitter?
