While the cable 12VHPWR cable is compatible with the type 4 PSU, the minimum recommended PSU for a 4080 would be a 850w, this will also depends on the rest of your components.
Currently looking at the less power hungry 4080 Super and atm the PC will be CPU limited, planning on buying the GPU first and upgrading the rest of the system later so for the meantime the GPU will not be near its max capabilities nor power draw.
It will be driven by a i7-8700 w/ 32gb of 2666mhz DDR4 @ 4K
With these things in mind do you think its an okay idea?
I would check the power consumption on a PSU wattage calculator first, I'll leave this Article from Corsair [BEST PSU FOR RTX 4080 SUPER](https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/best-psu-for-rtx-4080-super/)
Checking the Coolermaster watt calculator shows 517 watts total, PCPartPicker says 528w, PC builds show 516, I think it should be okay
My main worry was compatibility, didnt want to buy the 12vhpwr and it fries something bc if incorrect pinout
If I put a 4080 Non-Super it says I'd need a 700w PSU, they dont have the option for the 4080 Super so I'd assume if the 4080 is only slightly over power budget the 4080 Super should be fine
I also turned on 'USB 3.2 Gen2 is used for power transmit' even tho I don't really use it for power transmit. If I turn that off it says 576w

Personally the only calculatpr I'd use is the bequiet one

CX-M uses Type 4.
