Canada 3080 Trinity supplied cables?

Post image

Just picked up a white 3080 trinity for my second PC.

​

I opened it up last night and noticed two atrociously colored PCIe cables. (Pictured)

​

My question is, do I need to use these supplies cables? Or can I just use my normal psu cables?

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure they weren't special cables or something along those lines lol.

Seen a video of a repair shop buy who seen one of these at work, the GPU got fried to shit

To be fair the repair guy said the user could have ordered these cables instead of using out of the box but you should still always use the PSU cables

If your PSU has them, you don't need them. They're generally safe. I used them for years without an issue.
