I was wondering what the optimal way of connecting a GPU that requires dual 8 pin power input would be, to my PSU: I have an evga supernova 850W G2 PSU, and it comes with a 6 + 8 pin power cable and two separate 8 pin power cables. However, it does not come with a single cable that has two 8 pin connectors.
I was wondering if it is safe to use two different 8 pin power cables; plug them into two separate VGA power slots on the PSU and connect the other ends to the 8 pin power connectors on the GPU.
Prior to this upgrade, I was using a GPU that had a 6 + 8 pin connector so I could use one cable, connected to one source on the PSU to power the card; however I was not sure if it would be safe to use two separate cables now as I dont have any 8+8 pin power cables
