[SOLVED] New 1000w PSU doesn’t have three available CPU/PCI-E slots

[ts539x]

I recently built a PC that I was planning on putting an RTX4080 in. With the price of the 4080 and the new AMD cards launching soon, I‘ve decided to hold off on buying a GPU. If I had used a 4080 I would have just used the 12VHPWR connector, but if I go AMD I’ve seen where several of the cards need three 8 pin connectors. I only have two available. The PSU came with two 8 pin cables that have an additional daisy chain 8 pin. Is it OK to use one 8 pin daisy chained to two slot on the GPU? Is there any other way to connect a GPU that needs three 8 pins?

These are the specs if it helps answer:
PSU: Thermaltake GF3 1000W
M/B: Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX
CPU: 13700K

Do you mean that one cable has 2 connectors as you should be able to use those 2

PCIe 6+2pin x 4

is it this version? - https://www.thermaltake.com.au/toughpower-gf3-1000w-gold-tt-premium-edition.html
its confusing as to whether its 4 cables or 2 with 2 connections

2 cables, 4 connections... should be enough for a 7900

Yes, it is a standard 8 pin on one side and and the other side had an 8 pin with a little pig tail with a second 8 pin.

Yes that is the PSU that I have

that should be fine.

i was asking same question recently, picking between 2 new PSU, one with individual cables and one with 2 per cable. It doesn't make any difference either way.
