Hi there,
I have a Corsair VS650W PSU which has 2x 6 pin PCI-E power cables that are currently taken up by my Radeon HD 7950 card.
I want to add a second Radeon 7950 card to the system, however I do not have any PCI-e power cables and wanted to use splitters.
So can I use a splitter on each of the current power cables to power up the cards? Will this cause any problems?
PSU will definitely support it as I checked the load before buying however I did not check the cables.
I'm thinking of buying 2 of the following: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Startech-com-Express-Power-Splitter-Cable/dp/B004NNTVT6/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1386162645&sr=1-1&keywords=PCI+Express+Power+Splitter+Cable
