Can I Use a 12VHPWR to Dual 8-Pin and One Extra 8-Pin for My GPU?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I just built my first PC, which has been a blast! Now I'm on the hunt for a GPU and I'm looking at the 9070 XT. Here's my dilemma: I only have two 8-pin PCIe cables left, but luckily, I have a 12VHPWR to dual 8-pin cable that came with my PSU. Is it okay to use this dual cable along with another single 8-pin? I'm concerned since many 9070 XTs require three 8-pin connectors. My PSU is an MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5, and since this is my first build, I really want to avoid any issues. I couldn't find an answer in the manual, so any advice would be super appreciated!

If you're only using one connector for your motherboard and three 8-pins for the GPU, that should work great! Just ensure that your PSU can handle the load without any problems.

Yeah, using the 12VHPWR to dual 8-pin along with one additional 8-pin is perfectly fine! That's one of the things it's designed for. Just make sure your connections are secure before powering up your system.
