Is anyone here running their Vegas on one 8 pin PCIe cable split into 2 6+2 connectors? I know daisy chaining can be bad but the cables that came with the PSU ( Corsair hx1000 ) are heavy duty compared to other PCIe cables with only one 6+2 connection.

I am running mine at the  2x8pin (technically 8 + 6+2pin)  cables that came with my corsairs. don't you have enough of these? with the rm1000x there are 4 of these per psu.  

Yeah I have 4x 8pin to 2x6+2pin. Up till now I've only been running 2 Vegas from the PSU using two cables per Vega. Just read a lot of horror stories regarding daisy chaining PCIe cables, although most of this is people using the splitters. I didn't find much info on wether it was safe to use one PCIe cable for each vega

I tried running a 56 off a splitter, seemed to work fine but it was just one.  Next I will try two 56s off the same cable.  Corsair CX750M.  I am mining CryptoNight though, not EthHash, which is very gentle on power compared to EthHash.
