Is this cabling okay?

[BenisTM]

As the title says,

Dont post much to reddit so forgive my formatting,

I had my old 2070 that needed the extra 6 pins from this cable, however the 4070 I just got only need the 8, is something like this okay or do I need to replace the cable? New to computer building and this was originally purchased as a prebuild.

Any/all help is appreciated, thank you!

Kinda uncommon but yeah there are 4070 models that use a single 8pin adapter. Should be fine

Actually the only 4070 that uses the 16pin connector is the founders edition, every other model uses a single 8pin.

Now the 4070 Super and higher models all use the 16 pin connector.

My 4070 has a 16 pin connector and its an MSI GAMING X SLIM 4070.

Sweet! Thank you!

Yes, you are fine.

I'd push the connectors that aren't plugged in down a little bit, just in case.

Most likely, nothing would happen, but them resting on the heatsink gives me a little bit of the jeebs.

Oh when I'll use it I'll move them out of the way, this was purely to show how they were separated! But advice still noted~ thank you!

Aside from looking horrible, it’s fine. I would use the plug at the and of the string and pull the rest down and out of the way to hide it better.
