I had the same issue. Returned product as defective, chose another brand. Sucks because I love every other Corsair product I ever purchased, going back to 2012.

No, I've done several other builds, but the PSUs I've use did not have the pigtail PCIE power cables. I'll use whatever GPU I can find, but hoping for either ASUS TUF 3080 or EVGA XC3, or even a FE.

I've never seen PCIe power cables with multiple 8 pin connectors at the GPU end before, so when installing my new RMx 850, I was surprised to discover these. Is it recommended to use a single cable for a 2x 8 pin GPU like a 3070 or 3080, or is it better to use 2 separate cables? And really either way, please explain why if you can. I'd prefer a single cable as it will be cleaner, but if there's a functional benefit to 2 cables (reliability, longevity, stability, whatever), then I'd do that. Thanks!
