One PCIe cable to GPU or two separate cables?

[DrPollywaffle]

Hi guys, I just completed building my new PC. I'm a tad confused with the PSU and the PCIe cables.

The cables that come from the PSU have two 8 pins on each cable. As you can see in the picture, they sort of daisychain. Should I run two separate cables to my GPU (and tuck the spare 8 pins behind) or can I run one PCIe cable and plug the 8 pin in and the 6 pin in from the same cable? This would be much neater, but I'm worried it may mess something up.

 

EDIT: Specs in case it helps. RTX2070Super, Coolermaster 750W PSU.

 

Thanks!

One or two won't make any difference.  You aren't pulling enough power from a single cable to matter.

If you want to have a better chance of the power remaining stable, and put as little strain on the PSU as possible, use 2 different cables.

Forna psu like that I prefer one cable as it looks bad using two. 

But if I have a psu designed for a single 8pin on the end, it looks better and you have no choice.

A 2070 Super is fine to use a single cable.
