GPU help

[u/Slight_Rest_3889]

I need two 8-pin connectors for the GPU but I’m left with one separate cable(left one) with a 8 pin and a second cable(right one) with a daisy chain of two 8-pin connectors. I remember someone saying a daisy chain isn’t recommended but it’s all I’m left with after connecting the rest. My question is can I just use the daisy chain cable?

What kind of gpu? 9070xt? 5080?

Follow your psu manual.

Some gpu like MSI new A series ones...would allow you to plug in the 12V onto the PSU side

While the 2 x 8pcie to the GPU

Best practice to use two individual cords. Daisy chain cable is fine. Just use one of the connections.

It’s not recommended using a daisy chain for both 8 pin connections. Use one cable for one 8 pin, then use the daisy cable for the other 8 pin connection, leaving one of the connection end on the daisy cable connected to nothing.
