I am looking to buy some EVGA dual 6+2 (2x 8pin) VGA cables for my 1300 G2 PSU but want to make sure it's relatively safe. The 1300 G2 only comes with single 8 pin cables and 6+2+6 (8pin plus 6pin) cables. Are there any specific dangers involved with swapping all of the VGA cables with dual 6+2 (2x 8pin) VGA cables that typically come with the 1600 T2? My GPU's will be undervolted (3060 Ti's and 3070's) and the total wattage at the wall will be around 900 watts. I would really appreciate the help, thanks. Also, if you can find other forums where this is discussed and paste the link here that would help a lot. I can't find any related questions to this online.

Swapping the cables shouldn’t be an issue.

Thank you. Also, does EVGA allow the purchase of these 8 pin to dual 8 pin VGA cables directly? I cant find them on the official store so Im assuming support should be contacted for a custom order?

Interesting, from the picture it seems like that has an 8 pin and a 6 pin end for the GPU connectors, but the description/title seems correct. Very confusing. I'm looking for an 8 pin (psu side) to dual 8 pin (gpu side).

You could always call evga support to confirm the part number is what you’re looking for.
