I recently installed a Radeon RX 6600 on my aging PC casing and it's the biggest GPU i've ever owned. I can no longer close the sidepanel because the slack from the 6+2 pin cable connecting to it can't be comfortably folded without feeling like I'll damage the cable. Is it safe for me to use a PCI-E 8 pin to 6+2 pin cable as a passthrough from my PSU to my GPU so that slack is more manageable? Is that what cables like this are for? I'm referring to this item in the link:
1PC 8 Pin To Dual 8 (6+2) Pin PCI Express Power Converter Cable PCIE PCI-E VGA Power Splitter Cable | Shopee Philippines
Here's a photo of my GPU with the cable protruding past the boundaries of the casing. Don't mind the cables at the back. Those are just splitter cables for the fans and can easily be tucked into the case once the sidepanel is placed:
Thanks.
