Thanks for your advice Jimmy Song,
I tried using various converter cables and each of the converter cable were burnt else making the main PCI-E wiring hot as hell, converting 8 pin PCI-E to two 6+2 is not a good idea.
After taking three attempts and trying different converter cables i got a new PSU which completely works fine.
