How to power my GPU?

[ConstantColby]

Hi, I am a first time builder and I am trying to power my GPU (2070 Super)

It has a 6 pin and 8 pin power connector.

 

Am I supposed to use 2 separate PCI-E connector cables to connect 1 to the 8pin and 1 to the 6pin?

Or am I supposed to use 1 cable that has the chain loop to connect both the 8 and 6 pin with 1 cable?

 

Helppppp.

2 separate MIGHT be slightly better, shouldn't really matter though.

so would you recommend 1 or 2 cable?

It doesn't matter but 1 cable with both is good since you need fewer cables. The power is coming from the same place anyways.

I have finally realized how stock PSU cables are SO ugly!

I also had the same question as the post. Thanks all for your opinions.
