I am building a new PC and I have two GTX 1070s. I have one 1070 fully powered with a PCI e cable connected at the 8 pin connector on the PSU, now I also need to power the other 1070 but I wanted to know if I could place the other PCI e cable into the 8 pin cpu port directly below the PCIe port. The PSU has two cables coming from the inside of the PSU (16 and 8 pin) that power the MOBO. So I wanted to know if placing the PCIe 8 pin connector into the PSU CPU 8 pin slot and this connecting to two 6+2 pcie pins to the 1070, if everything would work correctly. My worry is that on the PSU it only has one 8 pin PCI e slot labeled and one 8 pin CPU slot labeled so I want to make sure it is safe for me to plug in the PCIe connector into the CPU connector on the PSU
Thank y'all so much for your help!
EDIT:
This is the PSU
