definitely don't buy that thing, cables have current limits and if you y-split a 6 pin into 2x8 pin, you're putting quadruple load on the cable which will probably melt and damage other stuff under load. Also 2 of the 8 pin wires are for voltage regulation, they get snipped in the y-splitter which increases instability.

If you're getting an adapter, get 2xmolex -> 8 pin. You still won't get voltage regulation but at least it won't damage anything.

Out of stock everywhere in Deutschland. I checked many websites including all-in-one geizhals.de but unfortunately can find GPUs.

Would you be able to find some? like 6GPUs like yours exactly as I'm liking more the 480/580 over 470/570 because they are having more hash rate!

Awesome, btw where have you bought the GPUs? I'm also interested in purchasing many graphic cards especially those beasts 580!

At first I was worried if I can plug two GPUs by the same cable that has the another extension but reading and reading learnt many things about hardware stuff.

Hello,

i have this card and have one question to the Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+

This card has a 6 and a 8 pin power connector, MUST i connect two power cable or is a 8 pin power cable ok?

Both of them, I'm worried if you have enough cables for a rig with 580s as there aren't many 6 pins and 8 pins.

I have 470 and 570 but they have 6-8 pins maximum so I can use 6 or 6+2 pins.

For a stable system I would suggest you to have two PSUs but that would cost a bit but you don't have to worry.
