In Win A1 only one PCIE 6+2?

Hi all,
I just upgraded to a new graphics card that needs 2 PCIE power cables.
As I was away from my PC when I bought it, checked the manual for the inwin a1 which states it has 2 PCIE 6+2 cables in the pre-installed psu.

get to installation and only see 1... is anyone able to confirm if they have 1 or 2 cables?

I have had the case a while and it’s the 600w version. Just wonder if I am somehow not seeing it

The manual says it has two connectors not two cables.

I see. So when it says that has 2 x 6+2 connectors is it just that it has a 6 pin connector and a 2 pin?

Or should I have an adaptor somewhere?

From the description, I'd expect a single cable from the PSU with two sets of plugs on the end of it.

Jump to 2mins 54 in this video and pause it, you will see it, he has one of them plugged into the GPU and the other cable tied up slightly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGRI5XyZLtM

6+2 aka 8 pin, they do it like this as some cards require 6 pins and others require 8 pins, but you should have 2 sets of 6+2 on 1 cable.

Cheers guys. I found a video that confirmed it had a splitter for the cable. 50 mile round trip to where I had stored the box and I found the splitter!
All working!
