I just got my Corsair RM850e PSU, and I've noticed that the PCIe cables are all different in appearance. One cable is grey on both ends, another is black on both ends, and the last one is grey on one end and black on the other. Is this typical for PSUs? Does it matter which one I use for my GPU since I need two 8-pin connectors? What do you all think?

It's totally normal for PSUs to come with different-looking cables. They might have different designs for aesthetic reasons or just to help you distinguish them. As long as they fit your GPU and the PSU, you're all good! Just check your manual for any specifics about which to use for your setup.
Yeah man, don't worry about the colors as long as they connect properly! Just make sure you have the correct 8-pin connectors ready for your GPU. That’s what really matters.
True, but sometimes different cables might have different ratings or voltages. Always best to double-check your manual to avoid any surprises!
