    Braided pigtail cables to run 2 GPU's

    I've just bought some of the corsair sleeved cables for my RM1000.
    What I want to know is, if running two GPUs can I use the 2 pigtail cables to run 2 GPU's with an 8pin and 6 pin PCie on each.
    Or would that put too much load on the PSU or the cables?
    Am I better off using an individual cable for each PCIe connection?

    You should be fine using 1 PCI-E cable with pigtail connectors (8pin and 6pin) to power one card. So you'll only need 1 PCI-E cable per card.
