Corsair power supply cables interchanging

Howitz

I am currently building a new pc and i'm trying to hook up a gigabyte rtx4080 eagle oc 16gb gpu

 

I have a corsair RM850e psu but it appears I don't have enough PCIe cables for the GPU.

I have an older corsair RM750x psu with extra PCIe cables.

 

It appears that you can safely interchange corsair type 4 PCIe from what i've read.

 

BUT the problem is when i check the psu side connector, the 8 pins are different with a missing pin at a different place on the rm750x cables than on the rm850e cables.

 

I'd like to know if i'm doing something wrong here, what is the best course of action? am i supposed to have enough cable with the rm850e? is it still safe to use the RM750x cables? interchange them?

RMx and RMe cables are interchangeable. The row with 3 pins on the connector is all 12V. The PSU side has all 4 12V pins on the connector for the EPS12V cable. PCIe only needs 3, doesn't really matter which 3 it uses. That's why the missing pin is in different spots.
