Yepper, you need 1 of each. Some PSU's give them to you stock, some don't.
There is talk of more people starting to including an adapters in the box with the GX2's, to help the guys out that don't have the 8 pin I believe...
The BFG 9800 GX2 does include an adapter already...
I was lucky and have both stock with my PSU.
One other thing is the locking clips that keep the power cords in, may need to be moded. The clips face each other, and may interfere with each other. I am not too sure on this point. I have heard it also said that the power cables may plug in fine, but there isn't enouigh room to remove the clips due to the locking tabs being unaccessiable due to space constraints. Again, not really sure. You might be playing for keeps when you plug the power cables in?
I am sure I will find a way around the issue, and see that my GX2 get's all the juce it requires.
I laugh at the guy's that like to post 'You baught too much PSU!'. Never...
