Hello and thanks in advance for your answers.
After upgrading to X570 I have a use to use both CPU cables, but currently being abroad I don't have access to the cables that came with the PSU. Is there any reasonable option for a replacement cable or am I better off buying a new GPU, since the EVGA cable kit costs more than the PSUwhen I bought it.
I checked amazon and I found reasonably priced, but I am afraid of getting it since I have heard each PSUhaving it's own voltage layout for the connectors.

    You can buy just that cable from CableMod (use the CableMod Configurator) for that PSU for $10 USD plus shipping..Or you can Contact EVGA to buy one.

    Or if you have one laying around that fits in the PSU, you can turn on the PSU for bench testing by using the Paper Clip Test and check the EPS-12V pinout power and ground terminals (shown as looking into the end) with an el cheapo voltmeter and rearrange them if neccessary..The mobo end pinout is industry-standard as specified by Intel, but the PSU pinout can be different..Never use a modular cable from another PSU unless you've checked to be sure the pinout is OK.

    Unless doing heavy overclocking X570 doesn't require both CPU 8 pin connectors, using just a single one is fine.
