Hi there,
I'm currently running a Corsair HX650 Advanced High Performance PSU. I'll be upgrading my equipment soon (including the PSU), but I've still got a question regarding this unit.
My GTX 780 (EVGA Classified one) has just arrived, and I'd like to give it a test run.
It requires two 8-pin PCIe connectors. My PSU only has 6+2 pin connectors available, but I've read those should work just fine.
I've currently got 2 output slots for 6-pin PCIe cables available on the PSU. Both those cables, if used, split into two 6+2 pin connectors.
My question is:
Can I use a single cable to power the GPU (thus using one PSU output slot, one cable and the 2 6+2 pin connectors at the end of that single cable
or
Do I have to use the two sperate outputs on my PSU, run two cables and use one 6+2 pin connector on each cable to provide plenty of power to my GPU?
Honestly, PSU technicalities isn't my strong suit, so I rely on you guys to provide some advice
If only one cable can do the job, that's the route I'd go obviously, cable managment wise.
As always, any help would be greatly appreciated!
