Hello.

I have EVGA gtx 1070 with 2 8 pin connectors.

On the other hand i have NON modular power supply. PSU has 2 MAIN lines of 6+2 connectors which are splitting into 2 more. So basically 2 wires with 4 6+2 pins.

 

How do I connect the card to it? 

Do I connect 1. main cable into the 1.slot of GPU power, and other main cable to the other GPU power slot,

or connect 1. main cable into 1.GPU power slot and divided part of the cable, to 2. GPU power slot.

 

I am really not good at explaining but hopefuly someone gets it.

What PSU? I run my Radeon VII off a single 6+2/6+2 cable but I've got an RM1000i which is pretty solid (and when I get a cable kit I'll use two seperate 8 pins). If you wanna be as safe as possible, just use one 6+2 from each wire so you've got 2 cables going from the PSU to the GPU, then find a way to tuck the other 6+2s somewhere so they don't look terrible.

I have Hyper (HP700S) 700W PSU. Alright I will try to find a spot so it looks decent. 

 

Thanks for the reply!

Using 1 cable with the two connectors will be fine.
