Hi, I am not that knowledgeable in PC components, this is my current build:

Intel 14th Gen i5-14600K
ASUS Nvidia Dual 4060 8GB GPU
32GB DDR5 6000Mhz RAM
1TB m.2 SSD
Coolermaster 850W MWE V2 80+ gold PSU.

I am planning to upgrade to an NVIDIA 4070 Super or 4070Ti Super GPU. Unfortunately, I only have an ATX 2.4 PSU which doesn't have a native 12vhpwr port.
Would I still be able to use my current PSU with the new cards? Will I run into any issues?

Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The graphics card should come with a 12VHPWR adapter, so long as you have a 2x8pin or 3x8pin PCIE connectors stemming off your PSU, you should be good to go. For the sake of relevance, which AIB partner card are you looking into for the purchase?

Thank you for the answer. I might go with Gigabyte since they tend to be cheaper compared to other brands.

With regards to the adapter, would that be safe, I mean it won't cause the connectors to melt?
