forgive me, because I have a lot of trouble following you..
in your first request you were just asking if the card would be compatible
Now, if I understand correctly, you already have the graphics card, and your power supply does not have the required connectors?
a little surprised with an 800w power supply, unless in the end it's not even the case, you have something else in place?
curiously it seems to me that we find the same question everywhere!?

I'm a little surprised that there's no answer
but just see in video

You have two 6-pin PCIe supplemental power cables coming from the HP power supply in your Z620, made for this purpose. Those usually are stored by being plugged into empty plastic receptacles on the side of your front black plastic case cooling fan holder (at the bottom front of your case). As I've posted in this forum many times the HP workstation's supplemental PCIe power cables are engineered to carry up to 18 amps of power. This is well above the "ATX standard" that generic power supplies provide. Yours is a HP custom engineered power supply instead.

 

HP engineered those two cables to be also used with their HP power adapters which you may have read about if you looked at the links in the first response to your original question in this thread. So, yes, it is fine to use a 6-to-8 pin adapter but only if it is of high quality. Don't cheap out on these... and don't use a SATA power-to-8-pin power adapter instead.

 

HERE is an Amazon link to a high-quality brand name one... courtesy of DGroves originally. Buy two of these... we know you're on a tight budget.

@lse123  if this can't help you, and the link given next, then I'm afraid I can't help you here
