Hi everyone,
im currently waiting on my new PC parts for my new build, they are being delivered in the coming days, cant wait yo im super happy
Just in case you need some info to help,
-MSI PRO B660-A DDR4
-Intel i5-12400F
-Corsair Hydro iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT
-32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 Corsair 3600MHz Vengeance RGB PRO SL
-8GB Gigabyte RTX3060Ti GAMING OC PRO
-4x ARGB Case fans, 3x Infront for Intake and 1x at the back as exhaust
sooo now i need help with my PSU so that i dont make any unnecessary mistake, it is the 850W MSI MPG A850GF 80+Gold ,
its the first time i have a multi 12V rail PSU and im completly lost as in how to connect it the right way to my GPU, i know CPU and MB are
labled and thats very good and easy but the GPU is a bit weird, if you take a look at that test website, i know its german but that doesnt matter
just scroll down to the picture that shows you how to connect your GPU.

NOW according to them i should use (since my GPU has 1x 8 Pin and 1x 6 Pin) 2 different 12V Rails as in VGA 1 and VGA 2 but that would mean i have
cables hanging down my GPU cause the PSU comes with 3x split cables (each cable has 2x 6+2 Pins)
so my Questions are why is the 12V VGA1 Rail split into 2 connections on the PSU?
and can i use only the 12V VGA2 Rail with one split cable since the Wattage is good enough with 12V*40A=480W.
or am i missing something and actually need to use both 12V VGA1+2 Rails ?
Thanks in advance
