ATX 3.0 PSU with 12V-2x6 GPU: Am I OK?

[Gessler555]

I have a recently bought Corsair HX1000i ATX 3.0 unit that comes with a 12VHPWR cable (with the regular old 2x8-pin connectors on PSU end and the 12+4 pin on GPU end).

 

I haven't bought a new GPU yet but plan on either a 4080 Super or 5080 in a few months. I assume all 4080 Supers come with the new 12V-2x6 header (as this GPU was released after the revision came out), as will the 5080s probably. Question is - besides missing out on the ability to go into 0-watt mode if improperly seated, am I OK to use this PSU with these new GPUs? The new headers on the GPU PCB side should still give me shorter sense pins & longer power pins so chances of a melting are still lowered right?

 

Or is it worth it to exchange/sell the HX1000i for a ATX 3.1 PSU?

I'd argue its safer than an ATX 3.1 PSU as it only has the crap 12VHPWR at one end.
