[SOLVED] PSU PCIE ?

[Mr Helix]

Hello! i am planning to buy a new PSU (PURE POWER 12 M 750W)

My current is DN500 and i'm switching my 1060 with the MSI 3070 OC and i have a question,
i've looked into the PSU and it looks good and well,
BUT the thing is, it has one PCIE 5.0 and just one simple PCI-E,
Is 5.0 PCIE for 40 series? cause it says 600 watt beneath it, so i reckon i don't need it.
and i heard that it is recommended to use 2 SEPARATE PCI cables for Most RTX series (my 3070 has 2x 8 pin slots)
So my Pure power 12M has only 1 simple PCIE slot, but the PCIE cable itself is split from the very begging and it looks like it's 2 separate cables, not like pigtails and both don't have any pigtails.
Not original, but They look something like this,
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71P3sABMxiL.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_FMwebp_.jpg12 pin Side to psu iguess and splits into two 8pins for gpu, is that fine??




So is that not gonna be a problem? Will they both give enough power to my GPU? Will it work??
OR should i just use The 5.0 (600W) slot on PSU?

Please Clue me in!! im really hyped to switch the psu and upgrade, but im also so scared to not burn or ruin anything seriously PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks in advance!!

That is a solid PSU and should be fine, even with the single PCIe cable. It was designed to meet your needs.

Sir i couldn't fix the image for cable, It doesn't entirely look like this, but it's something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/224469015657

Thank you once again lots!

The provided cables (with the PSU) should be fine. I don't see anything of concern with them.

Pure Power 12M has two seperate PCI-e cables from the 12 pin PCI-e slot on the PSU that's rated for 254w each.

Maybe 900 or 1000Watt ones, but not my 750 watt, Mine has just 1 simple PCI-E and other PCI-E is i guess for 40 series that need 600 watt (12vhpwr) outputs .

This is the cable configuration of the 750w

AS you can see there are two 6+2 pin PCI-e connectors on seperate cables.

Yep, and they will meet the needs of Mr Helix. This is a good PSU for this use. Excellent confirmation.

Yeah, It doesn't show on that image, but They're connected as 1 PCI-E 16 pin for PSU, but then again i guess since it shows that there's 2 of them, they're somehow considered as 2 seperate cables..?

Yes. It is how they are wired and powered via the PSU socket. That is why your choice was confirmed as a good one earlier.

No need to complicate matters. You are good to go. Have fun!

Each cable is wired independent to the PSU so technically they're two seperate cables. It's a much better solution than a daisy chained cable.
