PCI-E power connector to 8 pin CPU adapter

So, I just bought an EVGA p67 FTW mainboard, with a Corsair 750w pro series PSU. The mainboard has two 8 pin connections for the CPU and the PSU only has one 8 pin connector. The mainboard comes with two 8 pin connections even though only one is required so that extreme overclocks have enough power.

Anyway, I have several PCI-E connectors which have 6 pins + an extra 2 pin for compatibility reasons. The 6 pin + 2 pin together won't work with the 8 pin CPU connection, so I need an adapter, if there is one.

So, where could I find such an adapter? I've searched Newegg and Amazon but haven't found one.
 
I wouldn't waste the time unless you really do want to do extreme overclocking(like 5ghz+). SB uses less power then its predecessors and even they were fine ocing with a single connector.
