Hi all, I just bought a 1060 and a 1660s added them to my 1660 now I have 3gpus they all require 8pin cables the problem is my psu (game max 700 watts) has only 2 8pin connectors for the pice and 2 6pin connectors.
I've found a 8pin to dual 8pin cable locally, but they told me they can't sell it to me because the cable manufacturer and my psu manufacturer aren't the same they said it could blow up my psu or my gpu? Is that correct do I need a cable from evga and a psu from evga? For example.
Isn't the 8pin pcie connector a standard?

Thanks

Yes, it is universal. Of course, a single cable if is correct cannot cause an explosion. Your seller obviously joking with you.
the only thing you need to pay attention to is the quality of the cable. Low quality can bring some problems on load.
