I just upgraded from an RTX 5070 to an AMD 9070XT and ran into a problem when trying to connect it to my PSU. My MSI PSU only came with one PCI-E cable because of a mistake on their end. They're offering a free solution, but it's not available until December 2025, so I'm stuck without my PC. Does anyone know what kind of PCI-E cable I can use with my MSI PSU? I'm having trouble locating the official one, but would a Corsair premium cable work? I'm looking for a 16-pin-to-dual-8-pin adapter cable according to the MSI website.

I recommend contacting MSI support directly to get the exact cable needed. In my experience, Antec provided me with the right direction when I faced a similar issue.
I did reach out, and they pointed me to this specific cable: https://www.msi.com/PC-Component/16-pin-to-dual-8-pin-adapter-cable.
