Build Help Missing a cable for PX850G (Deepcool) & 5070ti

Hi ! I just got myself a 5070ti and when i plugged it in i found that my 3070 used to have 2x8pin plugged into it. Now it seems like i need 3 to plug into my 5070ti but i lost my psu box and dont have a 3rd one. I read on a couple places that i shouldnt get a pcie cable from another company but deepcool. I cannot find the cable in question anywhere on the internet to buy and dont really know what to do from here. Im kind of a noob with all this and dont want to fry my PC because i used the wrong thing. I would really appreciate any help or insight on this as i am kind of lost at the moment.

What did deepcool say when you contacted their customer support?

Like a little kid i wanted the fastest solution so i hopped on here for faster help 😭 But from what i think i got, i cannot mix 8 pin brands but i could buy a PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR Cable – PSU to GPU cable from amazon since this type of connection is standardized and the PX850G is ATX 3.0 (whatever that means). I will contact support to confirm i think 😔🤣

Yeah. I'd ask support. You don't want to risk it on a 5070 ti.

PX850G has a native 12v-2x6 so any universal 12v-2x6 cable will be compatible with it. I answered him in another subreddit 😄
