Connecting 2x8+1x6 to this GPU

[Erenke]

Sorry if this is a noob question. I'm planning to get a NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 XT SE, it has 2x8 and 1x6 pin power connectors. I'm also planning to get an MPG A1000G along with it (1000W just to be sure and quiet). Now I saw this image on the PSU's page and I know most of these are usually marketing talk but not sure how I should approach with it.

 

In this case, what would be the best way for me to connect these pins, or are they even compatible? I was thinking, top right or left to CPU, bottom (2) to the GPU with one of them not having the extra 2 pins. Or do I need to use one of the 6 pin slots on the bottom left? This is probably a dumb question but I don't wanna risk anything with expensive tech.

 

Also, Is it fine to use 2 slots for the GPU since each cable has 2 connectors or should I use 3 slots (I don't need any other PCI-E connector). Please see image below

if you have 3 separate pci cables, better to just use all 3 for each separate socket imo. it would also be fine with just 2 cables with one of them daisy chained.

It says it comes with 7 cables if i'm not mistaken. What would be the best way for 2 cables? 8+8 & 6 or 8+6 & 8

if it has 3, no need to daisy chain, it will be most optimal with all 3 instead of 2.. if you really want to though, it really isn't going to matter which configuration it's in, as long as they are all connected. all the cables will be 6+2(8) so any of them can be used for whichever way you choose to connect it.

Yeah that's kinda what I thought

You could use 3 cables if you really want, but it's not necessary. Will just add extra cables to manage to the PC.

The second image is what you want. 8pin + 6pin from one cable and another cable for the other 8pin.
