I'm planning to upgrade my graphics card to a 5070 Ti this week, but I've run into an issue: my power supply unit (PSU) is quite old, roughly 4-5 years, and it appears that I don't have an extra cable slot for the GPU. Here's a link to my current PSU: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/corsair-rmx-series-rmx750-750w-80-plus-gold-modular-power-supply-cp-902017-ca-23w-cs.html. I was wondering if I can just buy this cable: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/corsair-pcie-5.0-12vhpwr-type-4-psu-power-cable-cp-8920284-ca-272-cs.html, or if I need to consider getting a new PSU altogether. Any advice would be really helpful!

It depends on the model year of your RM750X. Corsair mentions that Type 4 cables should be compatible if your PSU is from 2021 or later. I’d suggest checking your PSU for a sticker or label that indicates the manufacturing year. Just to be safe, take a little time to do some extra research because compatibility can be tricky!
This is all kind of confusing. How can I find out the specific year of my PSU?
