I recently purchased a 9070xt graphics card and I need three PCEI cables for my CM MWE Gold 850W V2 Full Modular PSU since it only came with two. I'm not comfortable with daisy chaining cables. Additionally, one of my existing cables has a pin that came out of its crimp, and I'm not sure how to fix that myself. I'm searching on Amazon but don't see any official Cooler Master PCEI cables listed. I did find a product—how reliable is that option?

Just a word of caution: Your PSU should come with all the necessary cables. I wouldn't recommend buying extra cables. If you really want to avoid daisy chaining, it might be time to consider a new PSU that has enough cables included.
Always buy cables from a reputable source that lists compatibility with your specific PSU, or go straight through Cooler Master. Just so you know, the cables you're looking at are 18AWG, which is technically the bare minimum. I wouldn’t feel safe using them.
Have you looked at CableMods? They offer custom cables that might work for you. Just a heads up, they can be pricey, though.
Yeah, I checked them out, but they're asking around $60 USD plus shipping, which totals about $100 CAD. At that price, I might as well just get a new PSU.
Actually, the current models do come with three PCEI cables now, but that wasn’t the case when I bought mine. Cooler Master prefers that you don't daisy chain.
