I have "Asus TUF Gaming 750g 750w modular PSU, it comes with following PCI-E cables:
PCI-E Gen 5.1 16-pin Cable x 1 (675mm) PCI-E (16-pin to 8-pin-8-pin) Cable x 1 (675mm) PCI-E 1-to-1 Cable x 1 (675mm)
I want to use this PSU with Sapphire rx 7700 xt GPU which has 2x8pin connectors, now I know I can use adapter cable (second on the list) - 12vhpwr PSU to 2 x 6+2 to GPU, but im wondering to if I can use a combination of: 12vhpwr PSU to one 6+2 GPU side (leaving the second 6+2 on the same cable unpluged) + (third cable from the list) - 8pin PSU 6+2 GPU?
The reason for this is to be extra safe because of unreliable "12vhpwr". in a way to let say split the power usage between two PCI-E 4.0 and 5.0 cables.
EDIT- not to mention, that card pulls what, 250 max? lol, i wouldnt worry about any "burnt cable issues" 3 rigs here, all using the cable you read on reddit was scary, pulling 3 times that, and no issues.
