I'm trying to figure out the right PCIe cable to power my new Gigabyte RX 7600 GPU with my Corsair CX550M power supply. I can't find the cable that should have come with the GPU. From what I've seen, both the GPU and PSU connectors appear to be male, which makes me think I need a female to female cable, but those seem rare. I found one potential option called 'Cablemod C-Series PRO ModMesh PCI Express 8-pin,' but I'm not sure about the connector type. I added some links to images of the connectors to clarify. I'm feeling a bit stuck here—any suggestions?

If you still have the original cable that came with the PSU, use that. If you lost it, look for a cable labeled "Corsair Type 4" compatible, it should work perfectly.
Double-check if the sockets on your PSU and GPU are indeed male. From what I've seen of the RX 7600, it looks like they might actually be female. If that's the case, you’ll need a male to female cable instead.
Can you share some pictures of the connectors? That would help clarify what you need!
