MSI GTX 970 SLI cabling problem

[Marcofella]

Hey all,

I've just bought a second GTX 970 to set up SLI with. I have my bridge, but i'm having trouble working out what cables I need.

The 970 has a 6-pin and an 8-pin connector. So I obviously need to double up on that.

I currently have a single cable that has a 6-pin and 8-pin on the end plugged into my single 970. This cable came with my PSU, and I only have one.

Do I need to get another one of these cables and plug that into my PSU, or do i need to get multiple splitters and run both cards from a single output on the PSU?

Does my PSU even have 2 PCI-E outputs?

My PSU is a Corsair CX750. I realise it isn't the best, but I don't have the funds for a new one at the moment.

Regards and thanks, Marco

From a quick google the psu isnt modular so no adding of extra cables possible.

You need a new psu really but if you really dont wanna buy one i think the 970 is pretty low power so you could probably use some kind of splitter cable altho i wouldnt recomend it as its not "right" at the end of the day. Might aswell do it properly once
