3080 - 3x 8pin Question

[nicklog]

Hey there I currently own a 750w PSU with 3 8pin slots , right now I'm using 2 of the slots one for CPU and the other one for a split 2x 6+2 for my 1080.
I'm upgrading to msi Trio 3080 soon and I was wondering how should I distribute the cables.
Am I keeping the split cable to fill the first two, and then from the 3rd psu slot I send a straight 8pin? Or do I have to use another split cable (even if I use only one of them)

Any info would be appreciated

If u find any aftermarket 6+2 cable it won't do the job?

What is system spec? Specifically PSU, mobo and CPU?

Asus CrHair Hero VII (x470)
R7 2700X
Corsair RM750 (the yellow labeled)

So now one is for cpu, one for gpu (ends at 2x 6+2) should I get any aftermarket single 6+2 and send it straight to the last gpu slot?

That PSU has enough for you to use, It's got 5 PCIe 6+2 & CPU 4+4 Sockets

2 for your CPU, 3 for your GPU.

Yes its over 5 years but I was trying to save money as I over spent for my recent build hehe. Any decent not overpriced suggestions with more than 3 8pin slots?

Check the box, the RM750 comes with two cables that split into 2x 6+2pin PCIe connectors. So use two of those cables, to provide the 3 6+2pin connectors for the card.

Then use the 3rd slot for the CPU power.

No need to change PSU yet.

That was my original idea. The only problem is that I don't have the 2nd split cable anymore.
What if I buy any aftermarket 6+2 cable (extension) and send it straight to the 3rd gpu slot? Wouldn't do the job?

Edit:
Something like that
