Witch method should i use, the method with 1 wire or the The 9800GX2 mod? Because i saw this converter cable; but it just connects the 2 left over pins; http://www.highflow.nl/images/detailed_images/intel-logo-blue12506697404a8bb4ac8794d.jpg http://www.highflow.nl/aansluitingen/stroomkabels/psu-6-pin-8-pin-pci-e-verleng-kabel-10cm.html So is it safe to just connect the 2 left over pins with a strip of wire??

The link he posted a couple years back is now a dead link. That would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Some pictures, or maybe even a video would be fantastic So does this 100% work with the 4870×2?
