It comes with a 6+2 pin / 6 pin PCIe power splitter. I only need one of these; as far as I understand, both have 3x12V connections. I snipped off the 6 pin here, I'll use the leftover cables as extensions.

Because I only have one PCIe power cable, I'm doing something slightly cursed: I'm putting the "wrong" end of the P8 connector I have into the other PCIe power slot to get power out of that. Because the colour coding on this connector doesn't match the PCIe connector though (and the cable is sleeved so I can't see what connects to which pin), I had to test each pin manually to see if it's live or ground. 5/?
