EVGA 1600 T2 can't provide enough power for dual AORUS RTX 2080s?

[reesekaine]

I'm attempting to put together a build using two of the watercooled AORUS RTX 2080 cards, however, despite the EVGA 1600 T2 providing 1,600w and clearly still having two 8-pin connectors, the game is convinced there's no connectors left to power the cards.

Has anyone ever managed to get this to work?

EDIT: Here's the Breakdown:
Case: Corsair Obsidian 1000D
Board: MSI X399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX
Block: EKWB EK Supremacy sTR4 RGB
PSU: EVGA Supernova 1600 T2
RAM x8: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 15GB 3866 MHz
SLI: Aorus GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Xtreme Waterforce
SSD x5: ADATA XPG SX950U 960GB
M.2 x3: Corsair Force MP500 960GB
Radiators 1&2: EKWB EK-Coolstream SE 360 RGB
Radiator 3: EKWB EK-Coolstream SE 240 RGB
Case Fan x3: Corsair HD140 RGB LED

I just did in free buuild a full watercooled build with an SLI of RTX 2080 and that PSU with no problem whatsoever.
The issue is prolly somewhere else in the build.

In that case, here's the breakdown:

Case: Corsair Obsidian 1000D
Board: MSI X399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX
Block: EKWB EK Supremacy sTR4 RGB
PSU: EVGA Supernova 1600 T2

Radiators 1&2: EKWB EK-Coolstream SE 360 RGB
Radiator 3: EKWB EK-Coolstream SE 240 RGB

That's really weird. I have a working build quite similar to this one with that PSU and it works without issues ingame:

Case: Obsidian 1000D
Mobo: MSI X399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X
Block: EKWB EK Supremacy
PSU: Supernova 1600T2
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO x8
SLI of Aorus RTX2080ti
Seagate Barracuda 4TB for data
Corsair MP500 480GB
x2 EK Coolstream RGB 120mm
x2 EK Coolstream RGB 140mm
x2 Corsair LL120
x2 Corsair LL140

So yeah very similar builds overall and the one on my end works like a champ.
Maybe it's because the SSD's take the rails that are normally used for the GPU's, IDK.

I have used that power supply to power multiple dual-2080-Ti builds in free build. It totally does work. You're not connecting something right. Try using the auto tool and not the manual one maybe.
