RTX 2080 Super - Single or Dual PSU Rail?

[bru]

There is a thread here somewhere (try search) and its from Johnny Guru (Corsair) and the BS marketing with Single rail VS Multi
rail (with a addition of USA voltage and power draw fire risk) they are all internally Single Rail and always have been.


EDIT:

That was really interesting thank you for posting it up.

Genuine question, would it not split the current between both cables and therefore reduce the amperage load on the cables in high current situations? Seen plenty of those PCI-E connectors melt.

Yes, the load would be split on the cables. But the PSU manufacturers provide single cables with split plugs at the end that can easily handle the full load of even the beefiest GPU. If there was any risk, they simply wouldn't do it. The only thing I don't like is the unsettlingly tight bend on the loopy bit.

Usually the connectors melt from bad contacts, not the cables themselves.
