Hey guys need some advice here.

So recently I just purchased a second 780ti due to its massive price drops and was about to install it into my system when I realized that 4 pci-e 8 pin cables sticking out the side was quite unsightly, so I was wondering if I could use one 8 pin which has an additional daisy chain 8 pin on it to plug into the 2 8 pin slots on a single 780ti. 

This however might cause an issue as i've read somewhere on the web that a single 8 pin connector can only supply 150 watts of power whereas the 780ti takes in roughly 250 watts under load.

So what is the solution? Is it safe to daisy chain 8 pin connectors or just go with 4 8 pins?

Thanks a lot guys!
