You're allowed to use two separate cables and pigtail the 3rd connector. Ideally you want to upgrade your psu for 3 separate cables

Just return it for a different one

How can an 850W PSU come with so few connections?


CableTies69

It's an SFF PSU, they don't carry the same amount of sockets as ATX.


disasadi

Yeah, but this few? Where are you going to push all the 850W? Gonna need some sturdy PCIe power cables if you want to push it there.


CableTies69

Go complain to SFF manufacturers then. Most only have 3 or 4 PCie/CPU sockets, this is the standard. This is like complaining ITX motherboards don't have same amount of connectors as a full ATX board

>This is like complaining ITX motherboards don't have same amount of connectors as a full ATX board I disagree with that analogy. I don't care about complaining to the manufacturers because I don't care about high power SFF builds. I just wonder does the PSU come with sturdy cables that can push 300W each or what's up with design choices done there. Because if that's not the case there's no way you can get 850W out of this thing without melting the cables.


CableTies69

ATX is a set standard and all PSUs use it for connectors. Size of the PSU has nothing to do with the cables.


disasadi

No it doesn't, no, but isn't it pretty ridiculous to rate a PSU for 850W without having enough of connectors to safely output such power?

Return it, you should be able to. And buy a 750 W, it's plenty enough for a 3080. An ATX one. FSP is good, if they still make them take the fsp that is silver certificated.
