Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out if it's okay to use just two of the 2x8 PCIe cables from my MSI MAG A850GL PSU to power my graphics card. The card, an XFX Mercury 9070XT OC, requires three 8-pin connections, and I'm using one cable without the split and another with the split to connect to the GPU. Is this configuration safe? I've done some gaming tests, and it seems to be working fine, but I want to make sure I'm not risking anything.

While it can function this way, it's really better to use three separate cables for optimal safety and performance. Make sure your PSU meets the needs of your GPU so you don't have to use these workaround solutions.
