Hi!

 

I have ax760 psu and reference 980. Psu comes with 2 pcie cables which have 2 6+2 ends for gpu and 2 pcie cables with just 1 6pin ending.

So should I use 1 cable with 6+2 or 2 separate cables with 6pin?

Personally I prefer using individual cables, dunno why.

i'd use the 2 seperate with 6pin. just put my new psu in last night and really wish it had 2 6pin cables instead of the cables with 2x6+2pin but I didn't buy it because of its connectors beauty.  I guess since I have 2 cables with 2x6+2 on each I could run both cables and use the end connections and hide the rest but this works for me.  would be ideal with 2 seperate 6 pin cables
