Hi again I have yet another question

My new build will have an MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X and looking at the power supplies Be Quiet Straight 12, Pure Power 12 or Dark Power 13. all have a 600watt PCI-5 Cable that is supplied with the PSU or use the cable that MSI provide but looking at the website the cable is a 16-pin with a four-way splitter.
I'm totally confused and don't want to damage the PSU or the GPU by using the wrong connector.
 
Thanks for that so use the one supplied with the PSU and not the one with the graphics card which i think is a splitter to coonect two PCI sockets to the card
 
The splitter that came with the card is for people that have a ATX 2.0 power supply, as their PSU do not have the 12+4 pin cable.

If you have a newer ATX 3.0 PSU that has the 12+4 pin cable then use that.
