I saw this picture while looking at overclocking guides and I wondered if I may have my power setup incorrectly. My GPU is currently connected exactly like the don’t do this diagram.

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted to hell. This is actually correct. They put the second connector on there for a reason. People including myself have done the maths on this before and it’s all above board. Only fringe cases involving power transients, out-of-spec cards, and obviously overclocking should actually make this a problem. Even then the 12VHPWR uses the same current density if not more than a daisy chained 8 pin setup.

The PC community is full of FUD/just straight up ancient information that’s no longer applicable. I’m definitely not perfect, but it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out a lot of these things if you sit down and double check your info.
