6+2 pin PCI-E, 6+2 pin PCI-E 600+150mm
6+2 pin PCI-E, 6+2 pin PCI-E 600+150mm
6+2 pin PCI-E, 6+2 pin PCI-E 600+150mm

so plenty of pci-e...3 connectors


excellent voltage regulation on all three main rails
excellent ripple suppression on all three main rails
fully modular
Corsair Link enabled
7 year warranty

 
Thanks for the responses.

However, when the specs list the #6+2 PCI-e connectors, I thought it was referring to slots in the PSU itself, not the number of cables.

The HX750i has 5 slots which it labels "6+2 PCI-E and 4+4 CPU". Can the 4+4 CPU slots be used as PCI-e for the 2 SLI GPUs which will need 4?
 


The Corsair H750i doesn't come with four modular PCI-E cables, only three. You only need to use two of those modular PCI-E cables. Each graphics card on its own cable.
 
I don't think you guys are understanding my question. You keep going back to cables.

The GTX 970 requires a 6pin AND an 8 pin connector. Therefore, 2xGTX970 in SLI will require 2* 6pin and 2*8pin connectors to work for a total of 4 PCi-e connectors (http://www.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-970-GAMING-4G.html#hero-specification).

If the HX750i only has 3 6+2connectors (the slots not the cables) then I don't see how it can power GTX970's in SLI. And please, no more about cables.
