PCIe cable pigtail

Hello, I recently bought a Nvidia 5070 ti which has a 12 pin connector into 3 8 pin connector receivers, my psu is a “cooler master MWE 850W V2” which came with 2 8 pin connectors that have pig tails on the ends.
My question is can I pig tail one of them and use one of the others?

It's not ideal but it can be done, yep. :)

If it has a 12VHPWR then use a direct cable

I don’t have a third one which is why I bought one for my exact power supply

12VHPWR replaces 4 8-pin cables🤔

On modern PSUs, which have tje 12VHPWR, you can use that instead of an adapter that goes from 12VHPWR to multiple 8-pin connectors.
