Both are the platinum versions. I have some single cables left from the 1300 W one which I would rather use than the daisy chain ones on a system with the 1600 W powering dual 3090 Tis. I know each card needs three individual cables as opposed to the dual ones. There are simply not enough single ones (need 6) for the two GPU included with the 1600 W PSU. I know I can use the dual as a single but I am sure you have seen the octopus of a thingie with the adapter. Imagine two GPUs. If I could use the two singles I have left over from the 1300W PSU instead of two of the dual ones, the octopus will have less tentacles… I have to imagine the answer is yes but wanted to check with the experts.

    Apologies, not familiar with what P2 stands for. Assuming VGA cables? So, yes?

    Ah, the PSU model. Actually, both are the P+ version, if it matters.

    P+ is the same OEM, so P+ cables will work with both PSU’s the same.
