Thanks for helping me!
So, fairly simple question: I am assembling a new machine for me and my VGA (MSI GTX 970 OC 4GB) has two 6-pin PCI-E inputs, currently one of the PSU (Cougar CMX 700W) output cords have two 6+2-pin connectors for PCI-E.
My question is, can I power my VGA with a single cable? Or do I need two dedicated cables, one for each input?
Here is a image to illustrate what I am talking about:
