Cons

Each of my 8 pin PCIe connectors has a daisy. Can I do asymmetrical connection where one of the 8pin's daisy plugs is plugged into the third adapter socket?
The price is fine, but it's generally not recommended unless you're on an extreme budget.
Using a daisy chain cable drastically increases the risk of melting, so it's far from ideal but if you only have 2, that's your only option short of upgrading the PSU.

a guy near me is selling a Seasonic Focus GX 750W for $45, its a couple years old but he says it worked fine up until he upgraded, im trying to do some research and i checked a few places and even looked around on some online platforms but its kinda annoying i cant always see the condition details without going back and forth with the seller which makes it harder to compare options properly. Do you guys check anything specific when buying a used PSU like does the age matter more than the brand or the hours its been running and is $45 for a Seasonic GX a good deal or is he overcharging me?
