I have a a 750 Watt PSU running two NVIDIA 560 TI is MSI. After buying a 6pin to 6pin I learned quickly a second 6 pin is required for the card. I didn't know if it provided better results to have two 6 pins to 6 pin or a 6 pin to a dual 6 pin(Y connector). Do you get more juice running to cables?

On a side note, my father is swearing he was able to get the cards to run in SLI with just the 6 pin to 6 pin. I couldn't even get my computer to recognize it. We have the exact same build. Is it possible?

Thank you!

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to with "two 6 pins to 6 pin or a 6 pin to a dual 6 pin(Y connector)". If you are referring to splitting a single 6 pin PCIe aux connecter into two with a Y, that will depend on the capacity of your PSU. If you have a quality 750W PSU, it should come with enough 6/8 pin connectors to feed 2 cards; 4. What is the make/model of the PSU you are using? If it is a cheapie, it probably is way over-rated and can't deliver 750W.
