I recently bought an Asiahorse GPU cable extender, but I noticed that it's missing two pins on the 12VHPWR connector. I'm wondering if it's safe to use this cable as is, or if the missing pins pose a significant risk to my system.

I completely agree with the other responses. Using a cable with missing pins can lead to power issues or failures, which could damage your components. It's always best to play it safe—return that cable!
It's generally not recommended to use a GPU cable when it's missing pins. Some people might say it's okay for lower models, but there's a real risk—especially if you plan to upgrade in the future and might forget that the cable is defective. You're better off returning it for a full replacement.
