Hey everyone! I just upgraded my GPU, and it's a dual 8-pin model. My power supply only has two single 6+2 PCI-E cables. Is it okay to use both of these cables, or should I get a dedicated dual 6+2 cable instead? I'm using an EVGA Supernova G2 750W power supply for reference. Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can definitely use both 6+2 cables. Individual cables are actually preferable compared to a single daisy-chained cable, so getting a dual 6+2 wouldn't be necessary. You're all set!
It's perfectly fine to use two separate cables, and it's actually safer than using just one. If you have a lower power GPU, one cable might be enough, but for a dual 8-pin setup, using both is the way to go. Just make sure to check which GPU you have for optimal performance!
Thank you for the confirmation!
