    If it's Corsair RM-series it should be ok, just make sure to use 2 dedicated PCIe 8-pin power connectors (cables).

    Yes, those are the ones.

    Each cable is split into 2x 6+2 connectors, so you have to connect 2 separate cables into the PSU + GPU (basically ignore the little dangly bit).
