Mac B Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hi, I have a Corsair TX750M, it contains 2 sets of Type 4 PCIE 8pin x2 daisy chain cables (4 8pin PCIE outputs in total). I would like to know the maximum safe power draw for these Type 4 cables when connected to a GPU in the case of using a either a single 8 pin PCIE output or both 8 pin PCIE headers in the daisy chain, if there is a difference. Is there a limit before damage is done to the PCIE connector / plastic / cable for type 4 PCIE connectors? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac B Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Just realized, if this is more of a 'support' type question. Perhaps I can post it in another part of the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeDoyen Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 PCIE 8 pin is rated at 150W by the ATX spec. the corsair pigtail cables seem to have a bigger wire gauge to cope with two connectors but the cable will warm up a bit. It's always best practice to use discrete cables as much as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
