[SOLVED] Extra dual pcie cable

[mxrmX13]

I have a modular power supply and a dual pcie cable running to my gpu, and I don’t know if I can replace the cable or hide it because my gpu only needs 8 pins.

Do you mean the one cable has two 8 pin connectors? Why replace the cable?

It has two 6+2 pin connectors and i don’t know if there’s a way to get rid of the other dangling cable

Other than zip-ties?

Yeah but I’ll probably end up with zip ties

If the second cable truly offends you, you can just cut it.

I do NOT recommend this.

I run these on my computer https://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-...le+extensions&qid=1562939094&s=gateway&sr=8-8

just pick up an 8 pin PCI-e cable and extend the wire, tucking the original behind the MB tray.

Have their 24 pin, 8pin exp, and 8 pin PCI-e cables. i also use an EVGA G3 PSU with the silverstone cables, they are just straight pass thru extension cables so no big issue plugging them in.

What PSU is it? "Modular" is not a brand. They may sell aftermarket cables that have only one connector on it.
