My PSU has dual 6+2 connectors coming off of one cable

[Sanjey Saravanan]

I wanted to clarify something that has been running in the back of my mind lately, my CORSAIR RM750 (2021)’s pcie cable’s end that plugs into my gpu splits into dual 6+2 connectors (picture below for clarification). I just wanted to know if it is ok to plug both of those ends into my gpu (it needs dual8 pin pcie cables like most 40 series cards) or if 2 separate cables is needed. Thanks for the help

You can use both connectors on a single cable. It's only really an issue with cheaper cables, like those you find on lower end and Seasonic PSUs.

The RM series is well built and the daisy-chain cables from Corsair are very good.  I used 1 cable for my 980ti and 2080 Super with my RM750i without any issues, overclocked each card as well.  Daisychaining my RTX 4080 with the same PSU right now.

You can use one cable if you want.

I would hope that they use a thicker gauge wire for the bit before the split to accomodate the additional current. It should be fine, my RMx has the same thing and there have been no issues, even in a poorly ventilated case with 500W of heat load. The GPU was suffering for sure though, poor thing

They do , It's 16AWG upto the split then the pigtail is 18AWG.
