Absolutely, the situation is unstable.

You should be able to find 8-pin cables for it as well. The PSU should provide enough power for two 1080p displays, so it’s likely safe. A 6 to 8 pin PCIe adapter is the easiest option. Check the link provided in the thread; the powerboard usually has an 8-pin port.

This doesn't align with the specifications. If a 6-pin connector supports up to 75W, there should be no reason to exceed that limit when connecting to an 8-pin adapter. The characteristics of the pin configuration haven't changed. It's unclear how a setup limited to 75W could suddenly handle more than that without altering the pin design itself.

It seems similar to the ground connectors found on the new plug for 40 series cards. You'll need to ensure the ground is connected across all pins to achieve the full voltage. The powerboard's output is significantly higher than the cable.
