Here is my situation: I have two PCI-E power cables available on the Enermax MAXREVO 1350W. Further, each one of those two cables has two [6+2=8 pin] plugs for the EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra. So, I have 4x [6+2=8 pin] plugs available where three are required. Now, I know there's more to it than just having four [6+2=8 pin] connectors available. So I'm looking to get schooled on this. The Question: Does this PSU meet the requirements for the video card under this configuration - where I plug in just three of those [6+2=8 pin] plugs into the EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra? Or would you recommend a new PSU with three dedicated 8 pin PCI-E leads? Enermax MAXREVO 1350W PSU link for technical data. Mfg date: 2011.

Update: I have acquired a Seasonic PRIME Ultra 1000W 80PLUS Titanium. Now, I honestly don't know exactly what I've gotten myself into. I saw another post where there were questions over "single rail" vs. "multirail" or something to that effect and I found that confusing. All I need to know is: Will this PSU power my system with an EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra according to EVGA specification? Here is the "specifications" page of the seasonic 1000W. EVGA Wattage Calculated: 834W System: i9-7900X OC'd 4.1GHz EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra 1x Intel X299 chipset 3x SSDs [60GB/512GB/2TB] 1x 256GB M.2 1x 4TB HDD 7,200 RPM 64GB DDR4 3200 1 Monitor 1920x1080 240Hz/1ms 3x 140mm case fans 1x 120mm case fan 2x 140mm cpu fans

Got myself 850w
Very good, sounds like you're ready for a new GPU, I'm guessin. Did you get a EVGA PSU? I've heard they have a good reputation. I honestly don't know why I did not buy an EVGA PSU. I guess I had seasonic on the brain - which may not be, necessarily, a good thing.

I would have just used your old PSU. I don't know why you replaced it. But I guess replacing an old PSU every once and a while for no reason other than reliability isn't a terrible thing.

I think you'll be fine without having 3 totally separate cables. If you are really worried, get some custom cables made that are 16ga or better with solid pins.
