you use 1 cable for 2 plugs

thats a no-no

use 2 seperate cables.

[surreal ibex]

💔

[surreal ibex]

budget card budget psu

[visual mural]

yea, should be fine

[winged oxide]

So why does it come with 2 8 pin Pcie cabel?

[visual mural]

PSU manufacturer stinky

they think they can be smart

it will work in most configs, but as GPUs get more and more power hungry, it causes issues.

[winged oxide]

can my work fine doing that?

[visual mural]

no clue what you mean

[winged oxide]

i have also a dual 8 pi one one cabel

[visual mural]

avoid it if you can.

[winged oxide]

why whats it max usage?

[surreal ibex]

For 4060 , 5060 its fine but for 7800xt/9070 xt its not good

[winged oxide]

get gt 8000+

[austere spear]

its not "a no-no" this isnt kindergarten

its "not right"

[visual mural]

okay man. sure.

[austere spear]

sorry man I’ve just always hated seeing people say that

[austere spear]

one 8 pin meant for gpus is rated for 150w

if two connectors share the same wires, its still 150w across both

adding the motherboard slot being able to supply 70w,

that makes your max 220w

so if your gpu is near or above 220w its best to use two separate 8 pins
