Help : Need PCI Ex cables for Be quiet Pure power bqt L8 cm 730w

I need compatible cables for Be quiet Pure power bqt L8 cm 730w PSU, GPU PCI Ex power cables, need two 8 pin on the GPU end.
On the Be quiet site part number EBN011 are said to work but they don't ship to UK.
Are other cables compatitble like Corsair ones?
Be quiet told me a while ago that their own CP-6620 cables are not compatible with the pure power L8 PSU.
And info greatly appreciated, Cheers.

That psu came out in 2011 so is around 11 years old now, that plus the fact it was mediocre at best and built by the budget orientated HEC would mean that I wouldn't be using that in any system that is worth anything. Rather than going through the hassle of looking for cables that you probably won't find buy a decent modern psu instead would be my recommendation.

Well it's only been in use for 4.5 years but I'll probably be upgrading anyway for a 30 series or AMD7000. Cheers.

Might check what A the line could hold but 11 years is such a long time for PSU itself ....if you splash on a new GPU another 100 for descent PSU should be priority....its silly how the requirements went up for those new GPU's ...TOP current market GPU's will help you to warm up the house soon LOL
