Hello

I'm putting together a new pc for the first time .. Members of this forum have helped me a lot so far..
I have an asus 660ti .. My psu came with two PCI express cables that are SLI ready (one end connects to the psu and the other end is actually two PCI Express connectors)
Can i use one cable to connect the two power connector plugs on the GPU? Or do i have to use 2 PCI cables ?

Thanks a lot in advance =)

Shouldn't matter if the PSU only has a single 12v rail. If the PSU has multiple 12v rails, use both cables
