I have two questions.
1) I own an older Corsair RM850 model from around 2015, which requires 3-pin cables for the daisy chain setup, but those cables are labeled as "type 3." Others on forums or Reddit suggest using type 4 or type 5 cables instead.
2) If a power supply only has two PCI cables, can I use a card that supports two cables and connect the third one in a daisy chain?

The old RM aren't reliable. They only come with a 5-year warranty for a reason. It's nearly ten years old. I suggest replacing it if you're using an ATX3.0 unit with a 12V power connector.

Type # indicates the specific version of the cable Corsair produces for their modular power supplies. It mainly refers to whether the cable is compatible with the power supply's design. If the PCIe power cable includes a "pig-tail," it suggests it can handle sufficient power for the connectors, especially from a trusted PSU manufacturer.
