No, don't do that you risk damaging your video card, PS, or entire
system. You should have a 6+2 PIN PCIe power cable, see
https://seasonic.com/focus-plus-gold/#cables for examples from Seasonic
and use the exact cables that came with the PS. Don't take a cable from
another PS and use it - there are no standards for the layout so it may
work but be miswired (even different models from the same brand are
different).

I have installed a new Seasonic 750 Watt Gold Power supply. This computer has
a Radon HD video card with a SIX port female plug. The only six port plugs I
see in my new PS box plug into the power supply and are used for hard drives.
So can I just remove two of the 8 port male plugs to make it a six port so it
fits in my video card? I would just cut off two of the plugs with my Dremal.
