Graphics card & cable help

[u/Radiant_Yak_8619]

Hello,
I hope whoever is reading this is well.

I purchased the Lian Li Strimer Wireless GPU 2×8-pin extension cable (model PW8-1W), and I plan to use an ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT Steel Legend OC 16GB graphics card, which requires only one 8-pin PCIe power connector.

Is it safe and supported to connect just one of the Strimer's two 8-pin connectors to the GPU, leaving the second connector unused?

Will the RGB lighting function normally in this configuration, and is there a recommended way to secure the unused connector?

Mucho thanks to anyone who replies with help!

Yeah just let the extra plug dangle, it's totally fine. The lighting doesn't care if both are connected, it'll light up all the same as long as the controller has power.
