Jayztwocents did a video on this a few years back. If you are not looking to hit record breaking overclocks just run the one cable with the two 8 pin connectors. Stability wise Jay saw that using two separate 8 pin cables sometimes allowed for slightly higher stable overclocks but not anything that would be noticed in daily operation.

Im really late to the discussion but this fixed my problem with crashing into a black screen after adding a more heavy cpu and watercooling to my pc. My pc started to be unstable after that.
