I'm thinking given I power limit my cards to around 60 or 70% and the TDP is 225 watts, I don't really need to use both power connectors? The power connector on the riser supplies 75 watts and one 8 pin connector can supply up to 150 watts so having 2 power connectors might not be strictly necessary especially if I limit power to say 70%
Question is, Will it work? I mean speaking of Gigabyte cards, are they fixed such they will refuse to run without power supplied to both connectors? I need to know the answer before I buy this card. I know there is a version that has just one connector but that's so out of stock and the only one in stock has 2 connectors.
Has anyone tried running the card with just one power connector, leaving the other one empty?
