Wait I just realized what you're talking about. Don't use the pins from the first vga cable for the second card. Use a whole new vga cable.

Thanks this helps me a lot. One last thing though is it alright if my second power connecter from the PSU doesn't cover all slots and has like two empty on the sides

I assume you mean 6 pins rather than 8. You need all 8.

Okay i connected those cables to this other one that was 6 plus 2 pins which i plugged into the card now

Just need help with these two wires or do i even need them
>>
>>51730729
Your cards don't like being plugged into that daisy-chained garbage. You need two dedicated 8 pins.
>>
>>51730729
Cut them off
>>
>>51730729
Those are for powering a motherboard (4 or 8 pin) don't plug them into your cards (you can't anyways without a hacksaw)
>>
>>51730283
Does the box from the 1200what power supply have two more 8 pin (or 6+2) cables?
>>

Aw crap
It seems the second card is only getting half power
>>
>>51730886

Yeah, stop daisy chaining the cables like the other anon mentioned.
>>
inb4 the GPU rail doesn't have the required amperage for a daisychain... or a second GPU rail
>>
>>51730886
Jesus christ anon can you even read.

You need another PCIE cable or two. An entirely seperate cable that runs from your PSU to the card. Just because one cable has two 6+2 plugs doesn't mean it can adequately power them. That's why this isn't working.
