Cutting 8 Pin PCIe to make a 6 Pin PCIe 


Carefully pull out one pair of black and yellow wires
and cut the 4th pair of black connectors
This will make a 6 pin connector
out of your 8 pin connector

Use Super Glue to secure them together
Put some tape around it temporarily, while it is drying.

Use a nail file to smoothen the edges
and your fingernails (optional)
Put electrical tape to separate the unused
black and yellow wires for safety first.
