Quick-Stupid Question

[Coopermar]

Hey Everyone!

 

After trying for months to get a 3080, I caved and went for a 3070(still feel very lucky to get one). It's the FE so it has the 12 pin connector. My PSU, a Corsair rm 750x I believe, has a cable that splits into two 8 pins. Is it okay to use that? My current card, a 1060 6gb, uses 1 8 pin but I used the aforementioned cable knowing I would upgrade my GPU in the future(so I have the extra 8 pin just hanging off the end of my gpu in the case right now). I know this might be a really stupid question, but I just want to make sure I'm all good. Thanks!

You should have an 8pin to 8pin cable with the word pcie on one of the ends of the cable, use that, you may need to use an included adapter to plug it into the rtx3070.

Yes I know, but I already have an 8 pin to two 8 pin run. My question is whether it is okay to use the 8 pin to two 8 pin for the 12 pin adapter.

Just thought I'd update because I feel like an idiot. When I posted the question, I had not yet picked up the 3070 and was under the assumption that it required two 8 pins for the 12 pin. I quickly realized, however, that it only required 1, so the question was irrelevant. Thanks for the help anyway!
