Best cable approach for 3 PCIe 6+2PIN connectors in RX 9070 XT GPU

[pieter.geebel12d702b3]

Hi,

I’m building a new PC with an MSI MAG A750GL PCIe5 PSU, which has 4×8-pin connectors and an unused 1×16-pin connector. Here’s my current setup:

• 2× EPS for my Ryzen 5 9600X CPU
• 2× PCIe for my RX 9070 XT GPU (which requires 3× 6+2-pin connectors, so one of the PSU PCIe cables is daisy-chained)

I’ve read that daisy-chaining for a GPU like the RX 9070 XT is generally not ideal, so I’m considering these options:

A) Use a 16-pin-to-dual-8-pin adapter to cover 2 of the 3 GPU connectors (though I would need to find an adapter)
B) Disconnect one EPS cable (the Ryzen 5 9600X may run fine on a single EPS) and use an additional PCIe 6+2-pin cable to provide 3 separate cables for the GPU
C) Upgrade to a PSU with 5×8-pin connectors (least preferred, but an option if needed).

Which option would you recommend? I already asked MSI Technical Support about option A, and they mentioned they don’t sell the adapter separately but that using a pigtail like my current setup should be fine.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pieter

Apologies I couldn't find my other post so I recreated it but now they both became visible...

Yes it's fine to use the pigtail cable, but if you really want to use separate cables, I will go for option B.
