Hey everyone, I got my 2nd R9 280X card but people are saying use one cable not two and others say it doesn't matter or it does. I'm confused. Use two if wanting three cards?

It doesn't matter which way round the cable is. It also doesn't matter whether you use one or two cables. Using one cable might make it look a bit cleaner, but that's about it.

you use 1. Each card has room for 2 cables so you can connect a third card to a card that already as 1 cable connected.

Notice how the middle cards have 2 connected.

You only need one cable for 2-way crossfire. If you have three cards you can either use a single cable with three connectors that connects to all of the cards or two seperate cables, each with two connectors.

Now does it matter which way the cables go? like what way the crossfire cables faces? Because in that picture I have my crossfire "words" facing the other way. Sorry for the stupid questions but I like to be %100 sure,but to get your guys view, would it kill it with two cables? just you would think that be better.
