Hello gamers, this bad boy arrived today and it's the first time I've encountered 3 PCIe power slots. I'm familiar with using 1 cable and using the daisy chained 8 pin to handle the 2 slots. Since my Gigabyte 80+ G 1000W came with 3 of these PCIe cables I'm assuming this setup is correct? I'm probably needlessly worrying that I'll brick this.
To be exact, each cable is an 2+6 pin into the PSU while the opposite end is 2 (daisy chained) 2+6 pins. My worry is rooted in not being familiar with the daisy chained bits importance.
Wow I wasn't aware of gigabyte's exploding PSUs, thanks! I haven't seen any reports on my particular one (UD1000GM) having issues aside from noise (mine however seems quiet). So I'll be chancing it for the mean time while keeping an eye on the market for a safer reliable replacement. I wasn't aware of gigabytes awful reputation 😅
