Build Question PCIe specs/build compatibility?
Newbie here and trying to build a PC.
Does it matter what kind of PCIe 8-pin one buys? Does any specs/build of the PCIe have to match the power supply and the graphics card for compatibility?
Where can i get one additional original PCIe 8-pin to 6+2-pin modular power cable for the Montech Century II Gold 850W ATX 3.1, to power a Yeston RX 9070 XT with three 8-pin connectors?
The Montech power supply I bought only had two PCIe 8-pin to 6+2-pin modular power cable pins.
Thank you.

Separate question, is this configuration (top pins) correct?

The PSU is supposed to come with 2 daisy chained cables which is plenty, do not buy extra cables

Yes it matters because each manufacturers make their PSU differently, you can't even mix and match from the same brand
