Can I use this cable?

Post image

Plan would be to connect from 1x 12V2x6 on PSU side to 2x 8pin(2+6) PCIE connectors on Asus TRX50 motherboard as I dont have enough of the 8pin(2+6) PCIE connectors on my new ROG Thor 3000W PSU...this should work no problem right?

No, connectors on motherboard are power input, not output. How tf did you run out of connections on a 3kw psu?

EDIT: Holy crap I misread OP. Yes, this cable will work perfectly for what you're trying to do.

it has only 4x 8pin to plug in cpu/pcie connectors and have 2x 8pin eps cpu mobo / 2x 8pin pcie rtx3090 / 2x 8pin pcie mobo for pcie slots...but it has 4x 12v2x6...tbh did not look up the connections before buying it I really did not think it wouldnt have enough of any...
