Question Should I be worried about this daisy chained PCI-E 8-pin ?

[krzyimprt]

Should I be worried about using this splitter? Power supply itself has 42amps on the 12V rail.

edit:
I assume that you are using the thermaltake smart 600Watt 80plus (white) PSU
600W (504 W on 12Volts)?

it´s a single rail PSU, you are good to go with the daisy chaining.

The PSU is junk and it's a 500w unit instead of 600w. Besides that the voltage regulation is terrible and it's missing essential protection features. Not a unit I would recommend for any system at all.

but will work and it´s not that terrible. Wouldn´t recommend or buy it, but it will power up and not burn down anything.

Not sure why people are saying it's junk a power supply. My rig probably pulls around 300Watts under a full load. I wouldn't match this PSU with a 4090 though.

RX 6750 XT has 20ms spikes of 370w. 100w for the rest of the system makes 470w. The platform in the Smart has a double forward + group regulation topology. That stands for a terrible voltage regulation at 5v and 12v and can't handle power spikes at all with a noisy transformer and coilwine on the chokes. This PSU lacks OCP and OTP so if the fan fails the whole thing burns down. The short cut protection only leans on OPP and UVP which are terribly set. Given the very low quality, bad voltage regulation and bad protection features this is not a unit no one with a tiny bit nowledge of PSUs would recommand. Especially to somebody with a very recent system like you.
What holds you back to buy a new PSU?

That stupid guy thinks it's a Smart BM2 but it isn't. Smart 80+ is Tier F!
