The 8-pin CPU power connector is different from the 8-pin PCI-E connector, you won't be able to force it in even. However it is possible to rewire it to be useable for PCI-E. Just change the CPU plastic plug with the PCI-E plug.
Bro can v chat more detail on this ~

I'm trying to get a pin-out of the 8-Pin PCI-E connector for those of us who would rather make one than buy one, or who can't find one to buy (if anyone knows where to buy one, that would be good too).
So far, I have the original 6-pin pin-out thanks to our own W1zzard!
here's my more in-depth version, albeit made in paint...

Here's what I have on 8-pin so far, I don't know what the rails are, but the shape of the pins is a start...

After further research and ample time of the cards that require these being released, the diagram I made was found to be wrong. I used a picture of a 6 to 8 pin adapter, and that company must have color coded the wires incorrectly. Thanks to KennyT772 we have an up-to-date, CORRECT diagram.

SourceHave anyone try ground the another 2pin using the 6pin Power connector ?
