A1000G Cable question

[Stampy]

I have an A1000G PSU and 3090. The problem is the PSU did not come with enough 8pin cables (without daisy chaining.)

I am having a lot of trouble even finding 8pin to 8pin cables for MSI specifically. But my question is can I use the new PCIe5 connector + an 8pin? There is very little out there atm as I guess not too many people are in this situation.

What I can find is very contradictory. MSIs own PR page for this product shows an image of exactly what I would like to do -

However, a review of this product https://thepcenthusiast.com/msi-mpg-a1000g-pcie5-power-supply-review/ has someone in the comments asking this very question and the author of the piece replied claiming that MSI recommends AGAINST doing what their own PR seems to recommend!?

Any help?

I got an MSI A1000G earlier this year, and it had more than enough VGA cables to connect 3 up separately. I'd contact either MSI or the seller and talk to them.
It should come with connectors to plug in 7 PCIe 6+2 connectors into devices, if needed. That tells me that maybe yours didn't contain enough when you bought it, for whatever reason.

I got what is currently shown on the product page, so Im not going to have much luck contacting the place I bought it from. And I shouldnt need to if it can do as the promo image suggests, I was just looking for confirmation of that.

Yes, you can. The PCIe5 connector can be converted (with included with PSU's cables) to regular 2x 8pins connectors.
And then of course you can connect one more 1x 8pins standard connector from the PSU to the GPU for total 3x 8 pins connectors.
I.e: [PCIe5 connector + an 1x 8pin] = 3 x 8pins

Cool was not sure about that one

Yes, you can.
