I'm wondering about the safety of using a pigtail with my 5070 Ti connectors. I've got an adapter that came with the graphics card and I've been using it for about a month without any issues. However, I'm worried it might fry my card. If this setup isn't safe, I would need to invest in a new power supply. What do you think?

It's probably best to get a new PSU that has a dedicated 12V 2x6 connector. Instead of using a pigtail, try to use as many separate 8-pin cables as you can. I used a setup like yours with my RTX 4070 Ti for a couple of years without a problem, but remember the 5070 Ti has a higher power draw, so it's pushing the limits of those cables. It should be okay for now, but make sure to monitor things closely.
I hear you, but I've only got one 8-pin connector that I'm sure about. I have another one that might work, but I don't want to take any chances.
