Hi guys, ive so far built 2/3 of the rigs in my possesion but i have come across this issue where by the  GPU's require a 6+2 PCI- E pigtail cable (600mm,750mm)
however, only had two in the box, but have a number of 6+2 PCI-E cables (600mm). Needs either more of the 6+2 PCI- E pigtail cable (600mm,750mm), or some sort of adapter to make the 6+2 PCI-E cables (600mm) split into a 6+2/6+2.

I either used them for hte other rig that has the same psu (corsair ax1200i) or it just didnt come with enough cables?

Anyone? :/

Don’t really get your question. You need to have 2x(2+6pci-e power) at the other end and 1x atx-psu-power at the other end?

If you're running out of PCIe cables for your GPUs it's a good indicator that you need more PSUs.

If you know that your single PSU is strong enough for the number of cards you are using, you can run the 6+2 to 6+2 connectors directly from the PSU.

The standard 6 pin connector can be hooked up through the 12/24V peripheral chain cable. I wouldn't put more than 2 or 3 on a single PERIF socket.

If you're running 6 cards on a single rig and you have a high-end PSU, you should have 6x 6+2 outlets and at least 2 PERIF outlets for the second adapter chain.
