I have bought a power colour psu (yes i know..) but it only comes with 2 x 6+2 pci cables but then on the actual psu it only has 2x 8pin ports and 2 x 6 pin ports.

Does anybody know where i can get a pci cable that has 2 x 6+2 cables so i can plug one cable into my cards rather then 2 separate cable fir each card?

You want an 8 in PCIe to dual 6+2 pin?

If that's the case, you shouldn't do that. You'll overdraw on amperage through one cable and destroy it. There's a reason each card uses two cables, the power draw can be too high for the lower gauge cables that the PSU uses.

More information is needed, I think I still might not be understanding what you're trying to say. PSU GPUs, pics, all of these would be helpful.
