I have a Gigabyte RX 9070 XT Gaming OC GPU that requires three 8-pin PCIe connections. However, my PSU is the Montech Century II 850W, and initially, I thought it only had two PCIe cables. I found out it actually has four 6+2 pin cables, but they are daisy-chained. Will this setup work, or could it cause problems?

While it's possible, I recommend using a PSU with dedicated cables to avoid any potential issues. If the GPU starts drawing too much power, it might lead to crashes or worse. It’s better to be safe!
Yeah, you can connect your GPU with just those two cables! Your PSU has enough output, and the daisy-chained cables usually work fine for AMD cards like yours. Just make sure everything is securely connected.
Thanks for the advice! I'll consider that for future upgrades.
