Hey everyone, I'm planning to upgrade from the 5900x to a 3080 later. I have a Seasonic Prime Titanium 850W and a PSU with titanium case. Should I use one or two CPU cables for the new setup?

Just one will work, but with extra ports it's also okay

Yes, two people can handle more complex jobs together beyond gaming.

If both devices are connected, go ahead. Just a note: always mention quotes when responding!

The recommended level for extreme overclocking is very low, yet the typical maximum power allowed is so large that the second value feels more like a trick.

You don’t require more than one 8-pin even for maximum performance. The additional 4-pin is merely a promotional trick.
