[SOLVED] Daisy Chained PCIe 6+2 pin cables to my GPU?

[TacoRat]

I have a Corsair RM 750x and it came with 2 cables that are called PCIe 8 pin (6+2) cables that each go into the PSU as an 8 pin and the other end is 2 6+2 pin connectors daisy chained. I have heard that this is called daisy chaining and it isn't a good idea for higher-end GPUs and my GPU is a Gigabyte Eagle RTX 3070ti that has 2 8 pin plugs on it. Should I hook up both of the cables and just leave the daisy chained ends unplugged or is using these daisy chained cables a bad idea all together and I should buy new cables for my graphics card. Also if I need new cables where can I get good ones that arent just extensions?

You can leave the connectors unplugged.

Is there any efficiency lost by having daisy chained wires instead of the normal ones?

No, but there is a bit more risk for a very power-hungry GPU.

Check your manual on the power supply it should say what the max watts on one cable should be.

My Seasonic said 225 watts per cable.
