hi guys,
Got my hands on a new X 750 KM3, my question is this, is it safe to use a single 8pin PCIe connector which splits into 2x 6+2Pin to power my GTX 670 or should i use two cables? thanks in advance
it looks like this but much longer and connects directly to the PSU (Modular cables)

ok, i've plugged it in using the Single 8 pin to 2x 6+2 Pin cable and everything is working as it should, my real concern is that a single 8 Pin PCIe can deliver up to 150W and the PCIe slot gives 75W, making the total output to 225W, now at reference clocks, a GTX 670 will draw around 170W on full load, but if overclocked to around 1050Mhz, it draws around 205-210W, and i OC mine to 1070Mhz meaning it'll draw around 215W, do you think im at the limit of a single 8 pin?
