Is there any way you can use multiple GPUs with a Corsair CX550M (2015)?

It'll run 24/7, no problem.  But the cable catching fire is a legit concern with those Molex to PCIe adapters.  Don't get a cheap one.

The store I'm buying from only has two adapters (both from Gembird; local company). They're 2,00€ for DUAL Molex to 8pin PCIe and 2,90€ for DUAL Molex to 6pin PCIe.

Here's the adapter in question:

It actually does look like a pretty good quality adapter, despite the price.

wait nevermind my PSU does have two 8pin PCIe

why it's listed as non-multi gpu compatible is beyond me it has two 8 pin PCIe

Because both of those connectors are on the same cable, just like the one one on mine (in the photo). Many GPU's now take dual 6 pin connectors. I dont think plugging one of the 6/8 pin into one GPU and the other in a second is a good idea.

I do know; but I don't really see a problem as the 470 should only draw 75-100W from the PCIe connector. It should be the same as just using a 1080 ti for example
