[SOLVED] Gpu 3x8 pin question

[matan1040]

Hi so I just bought a 3070ti strix
And it needs 3x8 pins

I have 3 cables
But I only have 2 sleeved extensions
Is it ok to use 2 cables with the extension and 1 without

or should I remove the 2 extensions

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Work without the extensions first and see how things go. As for your build, what is the make and model of your PSU and it's age?

Don't use extensions. They give more than often stability issues with RTX 3000.

Corsair rm1000i 2 years old
I’m asking as I’m installing right now

is it ok for 1 cable to be without the extension?

Poor quality extensions can cause issues.
If they are good quality and rated for the wattage you'll be using them for then it should work without issue.

No, don't use extensions at all. Extensions makes the cables longer and lower the voltage. If you want fancy cables you have to buy individually sleeved modulair replacement cables. They're easy to find for Corsair PSUs.
