Did I ruin the heatsink, or is it still usable?

I tried removing the tops of the fins.

I had trouble because the seller had already tried doing it before; the aluminum was weaker at the edges as a result, which made things difficult.

I plan to use a 12V, 12,000 RPM Tozz mini rotary tool with the blue grinding bit to remove the burrs. Should i?

The PCIe plug and cable from the Corsair RM650e power supply apparently support 40 CUs, a 2000 MHz GPU, and an 8-core unlocked CPU, while barely exceeding 32°C. Is this safe?

Do i need Molex Microfit 3.0?

Fans used: P12 Pro and P14 Pro.

Measured with UNI-T UT123. Tactile feel: cool or slightly warm.

Games tested: No More Room in Hell 2, Remnant: From the Ashes. Both at maximum settings.

Addendum:

For the PCIe connector plugged into the card and the card's own PCIe socket: a constant temperature below 30°C.

For the PCIe connector at the power supply: a maximum of 32°C.

The wires themselves show varying temperatures. The wires closest to the power supply reach temperatures similar to the connector at the power supply end, whereas those closer to the BC-250 reach lower temperatures.

Corsair RM650e - Could someone help me?

I have a Corsair RM650e ATX power supply (modular).

Which cable should I use? Are these the ones? I think they're strange.

There's one that's two PCIe (6+2) and converges into a 12-pin gray-tipped cable.

The 24-pin cable diverges into a 10-pin and an 18-pin (which says type-4).

There are other cables as well.
