Hi, I recently purchased a Powerlink for my EVGA 1070 SC. Since the card has only 1 8-pin connector, I just have 1 8-pin installed with the tiny little hex screws. The thing is, the Powerlink has 2 8 pin connectors on it. I'm assuming that one of them would not work because I only have one connector installed, but how do I tell which one? Would both of them work?
 
Thanks.

i have a computer its nice

Use any of them ... they are wired in parallel (one internal bus bar) ... does not matter which 8-pin Input you use to the Powerlink

If you connect two cables to the power link, it will work fine. There are two power planes, so it will just level out.
