Graphics card requires two 6 PCI-e connectors. Question concerning PCU cables

sirdesancti · Jan 13, 2015

Hi,
I bought a zotac gtx 970 and noticed it needs two 6 pin PCI-e connectors. They provided two separate 6 pin connectors.

My question:
I have the cable I used in my last card which has 8 wires, starts as one strip of wires then towards the end splits into two 6+2 PCIe connectors.Does that work? Can I use this? Or so I need two seepage independent cables

A 6+2 can act as either a 6 pin or an 8 pin. There is no issue with that.

The card requires two six pin connectors. I'm saying my cable splits into two six pin connectors. I'm just curious if it's sufficent to plug those two Into the card even though they originally start as one cable coming from the PCU

I see, that is entirely fine as well. The cables carry enough wattage to handle multiple connectors on one strand.
I used both a 6 pin and 8 pin on one cable for my 760 for months.
