Daisy chain GPU power?

i have two Asus GTX 970 STRIX which have 8pin power inputs and my PSU came with (4+2)+(4+2) PCI-E power cables.

Is it ok to run a single cable to both?

Those should be 6+2, not 4+2.

Should be fine assuming your PSU is a single rail design.

Oh of course, sorry for the typo, 6+2 is what they are.

I have a Corsair RM1000 PSU would that be a single rail design? I assume so since there were only two 8 pin power options included and both were double.

Thank you for the quick answer!

Yes the rm1000 has a single 12v rail at 83 amps.

Thank the both of you so much!

I'll carry on and finish my build now :D
