Hi!
So I'm putting together my new rig and I came across some oddity while getting the parts. My GPU is GTX 780 with TDP rated at 250W. It is powered by 6 pin and 8 pin. My PSU arrived yesterday and the specs said it has 2 PCIe 6+2 pins, so that is just perfect for single card setup. When I opened the box however, I discovered the two 6+2 pins are actually daisy-chained, so it's on a single cable bunch, split at the end. It's a Seasonic PSU, so I believe they thought the design through and therefore, it should be capable of powering a single power hungry GPU or even 2 weaker ones at the same time with no problems.
So what I want to ask is, are the cables gonna be OK with the load?
Thanks for your answers and/or opinions!
