Superflower 1200W VGA cables

BaDBoY_uK · 27 Nov 2014 at 15:20

I have noticed that my Superflower 1200W has PCIe/VGA cables that have two connectors on the end. I currently only use one per connection on the cards meaning I am using four cables and this creates a lot of mess near the gcards.

So - can I use one cable for one card or should I buy extensions cables?

:confused:

Use two cables. One for each card

Sorry that's what I meant haha

So one cable per card? (Just to be sure)

Is there enough electrons going through it?

Sorry to ask mate as I am pushing my luck - any chance of an upclose shot of the GPU power area? I'd like to understand how you have hidden the cables

I don't have that built up anymore, I'm afraid... Everything is currently sprawled out on a test bench.

It's a corsair 500R and they basically went through a grommet, behind the mobo tray and back through another set of grommets.
Your 540 should have plenty of space to hide cables.

Ah I see

Have you got the first going into the bottom card and the hang-off into the second card? Or does one cable supply one card?

Hopefully that make sense

One cable with it's two connectors for one card.
You could do it either way if you really wanted though.
