can i use this cable

Hi!

I would like to know if I have to use two cables or if Im allowed to use only one cable like on the picture

the cable was supplied by corsair with my power supply

but I dont know if i have to use two cables to supply thet needed amount of energy to run my gpu

or if the cable at the picture will do the job

 

thanks in advance5a35582498238_20171216_1600411.thumb.jpg.5b100917887a76036ae7b77f0a0398ff.jpg

Yes, they are designed to both be used off a single PSU header. No need to run two cables.

Of course u can :D it depends on your PSU's design. If one of your PSU's "thread" brings enough power it is okay. So if you got them next to the PSU they are okay. Anyway I have never saw cables like these. Which power supply have you got? I think it is an amazingly powerful one if it can feed 3x 8pin PCI connectors from one "thread".

I’m pretty sure that one of the connectors in the picture is the one plugging into the Psu side :P

so one cable, two 8 pins which is pretty common as you probably know.

Sorry i am really ugly xD i thought that cable was plugging into the PSU when he took the picture and he was gripping the other side's cables together. But now i can see on the side of the picture :D:P

 

Anyway you've got a nice extended mouspad :D:D

 

(Your psu isn't that special just i saw that thing badly, and suprisingly i ordered the same psu yesterday :))
