Specs show 6 pcie cables and 2 eps on the old one from my link.. but no matter. An 850W PSU with only two PCIe outputs is silly!!!
IIRC, the adapter packaging with the card had a little paper with it with pictures stating not to do it.
Three cables, two connectors on each so six total PCIe on the 2018 version. 2021 version has two cables, two connectors on each, four total. I should use bold on the words cable vs connector - I'm not using them interchangeably
I did find the warning you mentioned, I didn't see it when unwrapping the adapter. I'm going to ignore it since Corsair definitely specs each PCIe cable at 300w and they're meant to have both connectors used.
