5080 and chipped 12vhpwr cable

Hello everyone!

So I recently got a 5080 FE edition and while everything seems to go smoothly I got quite paranoid with the melting cable issue.
My PSU is a Corsair SF-L 1000 and the cable given was a 12vrhpwr GPU side going to 2 type 5 PSU side.
While making sure the 12vrhpwr was indeed inserted to the maximum, I noticed some chips on the rubber parts of the cables. I find its weird but maybe it happened while handling it.

Just to be sure, I bought this cable with robust sleeves

Is it going to be compatible? Is this a safe cable?
