If I had used a mini 6 to 8 pin adapter, it would try to draw 150W from one connector- you can easily fry the board with that. If your card is an 8 pin you need to draw power from both 6-pins. if your card has 2 6-pins you need to use 2 mini 6 to 6 adapters, not a mini-6 to dual 6-pin. If you want to use a card that's over 225W (Vega 64, Radeon VII) you'll need to mod the PSU. A Radeon 5700 xt draws 225 so that's the most powerful card you can run without modding.
