Can I Use Two 6+2 PCI-E Cables for My Dual 8-Pin GPU?
Asked by

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!

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!

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!
