I have a Corsair CX750 modular PSU. When connecting to my video card that requires two 6pin connectors, is it ok to use one run from the PSU to the 2 branched 6 pin connectors, or should I use one 6 pin connector on two separate runs from the power supply?

Just want to make sure I am not limiting power to my card by using one run with two connectors.

Thanks for the responses. It helps narrow down the root of my problem. I have a Dell XPS 8500, i7-3770, 8 gigs ram, standard setup, but I replaced the PSU with the CX750(it was on sale) and a new video card (R9 270x 4gb)

Lately when playing Tera, it has been restarting. No Blue Screen, just a restart. After reading many threads here, it is most likely a PSU issue, or the video card. I checked heat on the card when running the game and it stays under 70c on full load. Maybe the PSU is bad. Its hard to tell what the problem is.
