But in general, the 8-pin splitters(1 female to 2 males) shouldn't overload the single 8-pin source connector?
If a gpu needs one 8-pin and one 6-pin plugs to be powered, doesn't need more power than a single 8-pin source plug can manage?
So is it safe to use these splitters?
assume he has the right one
assuming it was wired correctly and not defective
a cpu cable should be able to do 225 watts max
spilt it into 2 pcie plugs
have a third cable feed the riser. even a dedicated sata doing only 1 riser.
you should be able to do 175 24/7/365 on the cpu/pcie adapter
and 50 24/7/365 on the sata to the riser.
or 175+50=225 24/7/365
he said he is doing a 6700 to a 6700xt. if he sets the power correctly it pulls under 175
he should be good
if he wired a nvidia 3090 fuck no he will melt shit.
