If it is the cable which came with the power supply, yes it is safe to use the included daisy-chained connection.

It is recommended to NOT daisy chain 3 power connection gpu's.

nah. you can daisy chain one of them when three cables are required. that came straight from jacob.

I would say if you have a third cable I would lean towards using three separate unless cable management or something is a concern.

Three separate cables would be best but two cables using the splitter on the cable from the manufacturer is almost just as good and you really shouldn't have any issue.

hows it going everyone sorry for the late reply and thanks for all your help
i,ve been using 2 cables with a pigtail for the 3rd connection the last couple of days without any issue
i plan on doing some more work on the pc in regards to liquid cooling in the coming weeks
so i think i,ll order a set of custom cables as well just to air on the side of caution
once again Thanks

It seems all of the posts circa 2020-2022 are hidden, maybe archived or something, but there were a few in which this exact topic was discussed ad nauseam. Best use case is to use 3 individual PCI-E power cables, but you could probably get by with 1 dedicated and 1 daisy-chained. It depends. If overclocking, I would definitely recommend 3 individual cables.
