I recently upgraded from a 3070 to an MSI Gaming Trio 5070 Ti, which requires a 12VHPWR connection. My previous 3070 used just two PCIe 6+2 connectors from my NZXT C750 Gold PSU. Unfortunately, I only have two PCIe cables available and no extra slots to connect more. Can I run the new GPU with just these two cables for now, or do I need to invest in a new PSU? I also noticed that NZXT sells a 16-Pin to Dual 8-Pin 12VHPWR PCIe 5.0 PSU cable. Should I consider getting that?

If your PSU lacks enough PCIe cables, it's likely that you’ll need a more powerful one. Running on just two cables might not provide sufficient power for your new GPU, which could lead to instability. It's better to ensure you have the proper connections to avoid any issues down the line.
