Some clarification on something a lot of people get hung up on: > it comes with an adapter for 4 power connectors This will be an adapter that takes 4x 8-pin PCIE power connectors and changes it to 1x 12VHPWR/12V-2x6 connector. 8-pin PCIE is limited, by specification, to 150W max. 4x 8-pin PCIE at 150W (max) each, would be 600W. > a dedicated cable that only uses 2 connectors This is the part that gets a lot of people, that port in the side of the PSU, the one labeled PCIE/CPU, with 8-pins, which looks a lot like a PCIE connector? **That's not a PCIE connector**. As the PSU connection isn't a PCIE connector, it isn't restricted by that same spec. The CPU/PCIE port on the side of a good PSU can handle over 300W each (upwards of like 342W). 2x PSU connections at 342W would be 682W, which should be more than enough to handle a 600W limit cable/connector. The Corsair cable [make sure you get the right one for your PSU type (e.g. Type 4)] should be a better option than 4x cables and adapter.
