Hey guys i recently bought a 12 pin gpu cable from corsair for my 3070 FE gpu because it didn't come in the box when I bought it used. I noticed that these cards need a 12 pin adapter to 8 pin adapter. I was wondering if I use this 12 pin gpu cable from corsair and plug it into my 750 bq EVGA power supply, Will I fry my GPU? What steps should I take forward if it does?

It is possible I wouldn't plug any vendor's cables directly into the PSU (or even different model).  If it is just a 2x8pin adapter that would be fine.

The Corsair 12pin PCIe cable is pinned specifically for use with Corsair power supplies. You can't mix modular cables with incompatible power supplies. 

 

Find an adaptor that takes two PCIe cables and adapts to a 12 pin NVIDIA connector.
