I'm planning to use a Red Devil RX 9070 XT, which requires three 8-pin power connectors. I'd prefer to run three separate PCIe cables rather than rely on daisy-chained connectors. The product listings are confusing because some count PSU-side ports while others count the connectors on the cable ends. Does the 850W Lian Li EDGE Gold actually include three individual 8-pin PCIe cables, or only two?

The product page’s cable diagram is the best reference here. It lists three individual 8-pin GPU cables and one cable with daisy-chained connectors. The higher-wattage version is also reported to use the same cable arrangement, but check the exact 850W packaging if you want to be completely certain.
Yes. The official cable layout for the 850W EDGE shows three separate single 8-pin PCIe cables, plus one additional daisy-chained cable. That gives you the three independent cables needed for the graphics card.
That clears up my concern. I was worried the store listing was counting connectors instead of actual cables, so I’ll verify the official diagram before ordering.
