Asked by TechGuru92
I have a be quiet! Straight Power 11 750w Gold+ ATX 2.4 PSU and a Gigabyte 9070 XT GPU. My PSU has two separate 6+2 pin cables and one daisy chained cable that splits into two 6+2 parts. I'm trying to figure out the best way to connect my GPU. Should I use both solo cables and just one half of the daisy chained cable, or should I go with the daisy chained cable along with one solo cable? Thanks for any help!

I suggest going with option 1. It should provide a more stable connection for your GPU and reduce the chances of any issues.

Both options will work fine for your GPU. However, if you use two solo cables and just one side of the daisy chained cable, it's a cleaner setup. Make sure to zip tie any loose connections to keep everything tidy!

CableWhisperer17: I've heard daisy chained cables can be less safe, so I think solution 1 might be better. Since my case doesnโ€™t have a window, looks wonโ€™t matter. I'll definitely zip tie the loose connector to the cable.
