Hi everyone,

 

I recently just ordered my new pc, and it's my first time building a desktop in 4 years, it is also my first time buying a graphics card with 2 power connectors, an 6+2, and 6 pin, I ordered the Corsair RM-750 PSU, and I was wondering if it is not damaging to the power supply and the graphics card if i plug both of the connectors off the same lead, or will I have to plug in 2 different sata connectors to my power supply, and run the power off of seperate leads?

 

Thanks.

it ok with just using one power lead

 

but it still good practice to use separate power cables

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
