100% cables work great!

A properly designed cable works properly. I'll never get it right if I rely on recommendations on what to do with these cables. Example: Someone says they used a forked end and says that's the only cable you'll use for a GPU that requires two 8-pin connectors. Well, that might not work because it's not getting enough power from the PSU, so another example of a recommendation: use 1:1. As with one cable, don't try to use two, just use one cable for each required 8-pin connector. I only run into this as a problem when I think hey, maybe this will work. Different GPUs have different performance requirements. So read your requirements. Don't use it if you need a cable and assume it will work because it branches. When something like this happens, it's not the cable that's the problem, it's the setup. Anyway I just bought a bunch for the 6900XT and I don't use each split end at the same time for the 3 I need for my GPUs, I did 1:1 and had no problems. But for 1/3 I tried using a forked end on the GPU and it didn't work, the advice was anyway to use 3 separate ones so what's right is right. It's not always possible to get more performance from more cables by sacrificing the minimum requirement.

Pros
  • Waiting
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as it says it is
