Hey folks! I'm gearing up to upgrade my PC and I'm looking at getting an RTX 5070 Ti along with a Ryzen 7 9700x. I've got a Corsair RM850 Gold Fully Modular 80+ Gold PSU with 850W. From what I've read, I should be able to use the connector that comes with the 5070 Ti to connect it to two 8-pin ports on the PSU, but I want to be sure this is safe and works as intended. Can anyone confirm this? Also, I've included a link to my current setup for reference.

You don’t plug the adapter directly into the PSU. It's GPU to adapter cable, then to the two 8-pin PSU cables. If you prefer not using the adapter cable, consider getting Corsair's 12VHPWR cable for around $15, which should work perfectly!
I see, it's safe and should work fine with this PSU, right?
