I recently purchased an RTX 5070 Ti, and I'm trying to figure out the correct way to connect the power cable. The GPU only requires one cable, and I have a cable that fits into a 12-volt plug on my PSU, while the other end is labeled 'PCIe' which I believe connects to the GPU. I just want to make sure this is the right setup before I risk damaging anything by plugging it in incorrectly.

It sounds like you're on the right track! Generally, the end labeled 'PCIe' is meant to go into your GPU. Also, you might want to check your PSU manual for specifics just to be safe.
You might have the wrong cable. Compare it with this setup I found [here](https://redragonshop.com/cdn/shop/files/RedragonPSU007Premium600WPCI-e5.0GPUPowerCable_13.jpg). Make sure you have the right one before connecting!
Be cautious! If your cable has a 12-pin connector, it's often reversible, but not all cables are. Make sure you're not plugging a 12-pin directly into your PSU but instead using it as intended for the GPU.
