What's your power supply?
https://www.google.ee/search?q=6%2B2+pin+pci-e&biw=1920&bih=951&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjx-rH1-IfOAhXmbZoKHZdABjUQsAQIHw#imgrc=MJOEApR3B1MmtM%3A
You need to plug both parts of this connector into 8-pin sockets on the graphics card.
If you dont have at least 500W PSU with two of those connectors then you need to replace your PSU, preferably to 550-600W, EVGA, Seasonic, XFX at least bronze certified, better yet gold certified.
2 x Dual 6-pin to 8-pin PCIe adapters, perhaps?
For PSU not to have at least two 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors is a dead giveaway that you should not run something like factory overclocked GTX 1070 with this crappy power supply.
Yeah, if I were to pay for a 1070 I'd definitely went after a PSU that has the connectors set in factory.
Have a PSU that is of good quality and new enough to have all the PCIE Power Connections any GPU you wish to use would require. Molex adapters connected between GPU and a poor PSU can cause all sorts of power issues; even to go as far as either the GPU not getting adequate power under high loads, or the GPU pulling so much power through those adapters that other molex/sata devices are not getting adequate power, causing you other issues, such as failing drives and such down the road.
I recall that back when I bought it, there was a press release that every one of their higher end PSUs was tested with double the rated load, and can take it. Each 6 pin should be able to take 150w, despite the spec only going up to 75w per connector. (Well, when new anyway. *Gulp*)
I saw a post where someone hooked up 1x 6pin to 1x 8pin adapter (each) and plugged both in, and it worked. I suppose I'll try that, since I only have 2x 6pin to work with. (Yeah, for 72A! Mind you, that was the era of 220w TDP CPUs. This beast does not have nearly enough modern connectors on it, although it is currently also powering 10 drives. It shipped with enough connectors for those.)
No because to use 8pin on a PSU that has no 8 or 6pin connectors; there is more than one adapter involved going from Molex to 8pin on a GPU.
Keep that PSU for older system that doesn't have such requirements.
