Question Help with connecting PCIe cables to an RX 6800 ?

[hardcorelegendx0]

Is this cable connection bad? My new gpu requires 2 x 8 pin connectors, but idk why they are both
connected to eachother and it made connecting very hard, im afraid that cable bending is too much and
might cause damage to cable in time. This is my older pc, this psu is corsair VS550w 80+ and its not
modular. I dont have problems with it, tested it on all games even at 4k no issues. Undervolted my gpu to
950mv and gpu never takes more than 170 1 80w dueing heavy gaming, most games barely takes 130w
140w. Btw there is no another extra pcie cable, just this strange double one
Is it safe? \ really dont want to change my psu ?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Not a PSU I'd have inside a build like that. As for the cables, yes it's not advised. This is how you should hook up the PCIe cables when dealing with more than one input for the GPU's puwer;

In your case, you should work with another PSU that has an extra PCIe cable/connector that isn't daisychained.
