Daisychaining the single cable is asking for stability problems when you’re dealing with high transient loads.

FYI:
PCIe slot: 75W
6-pin: 75W
8-pin: 150W

Edit: I think I’m seeing 8+6 pin but I’m not positive. Either way I’d run 2 separate power cables. Full 8 pins not 6+2.

Someone on reddit just posted a pic of a melted cable from daisy chaining on a 3080. Oops.

Well fuck. Guess I need a bigger PSU now. I only have one 6+2 PCIE connector.

Don’t get a gigabyte one if you do upgrade.

Honestly - a dedicated 8 pin and a separate 6+2 is probably fine. What is the power rating of your PSU?

Any suggestions on a fully modular PSU?

My phanteks Amp has been rock solid.

Can’t go wrong with seasonic either. Definitely go 750W or higher

lol I'm sure you could get away with a 650-850w. I'm only using a 650w and I'm still able to run a ryzen 9 5900x and 3070

As long as it is a fully modular 8-Pin I could stay at 750w-800, correct.

Yup. I like Corsair as they have the small sleeved cables and not the thicc PITA cables.

I think an RMx 850 should do it.

Phanteks P400A now with a pair of 140mm and a 120mm (mod) Noctua intake fans is quieter. I do have a pair of exhaust fans in the top/bad corner to keep air off the CPU (big Noctua cooler) moving, worth a couple degrees on the cpu. Next up is fiddling to see if directing air around the GPU can reduce it's temps any. They're decent, but I'd like a little cooler if I can pull it off.

SFF builds are definitely niche. I did replace the NZXT fan with a BeQuiet fan for the AIO and then put two slim Noctua fans on the rear and it's extremely quiet. The only thing I hear is the GPU usually. Plus when I'm gaming, I don't care if it's 'loud' as long as it's cooling everything.

if that's not my power supply, it's a very similar model... zero complaints for something like 10-ish years...

I really like my corsair rm850x

Running a 6900xt, rx480, 5900x, full water loop, couple of HDDs, NVMEs, lots of fans.
