Which 6pin and 8 pin PSU connectors should I use for a GTX 280?

I am getting a new build. I am wondering which 8pin and which 6 pin connectors to use on a GTX 280 card. The power supply I am getting is CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 750. It has two PCI-E cables, with each having a 6 pin and an 8 pin connector. They are not the 6pin+2pin connectors, it literally has two connectors on each PCI-E sleeve, about 5 inches apart. I checked and Coolermaster does not have a manual to download, so I will have to wait until I get the components to get a manual. Hopefully the manual will tell me which pins to use on a single card but I am wondering if anyone here knows.

Should I use the 8 pin connector and the 6 pin connector on the same sleeve for my single GTX 280. Or should I use the 6 pin from one sleeve and the 8 pin from the other? Or does it even matter.

I don't think it really matters. I could be wrong though.

It's best to use connectors on different wires (the latter option you posted), although it will probably work either way.

Yep, use the 8 pin from one connector and 6 pin from the other connector. You do NOT want to use the 6 and 8 pin on the same wire, as they are on the same rail and will not deliver enough power.
