Windows 10: PSU modular cables - Are PCIe cables swappable?

Hey all.

I have recently been in receipt of a gtx 1070, a nice little upgrade over my gtx 660 ( I know, but it works well ).

Upon installation, I realised I only have a 6pin to 6pin PCIe on my 850W CoolerMaster PSU ( Cooler Master Real Power M850 RS-850-ESBA ), which is now about 12 years old. Along the way, I have lost my CoolerMaster 8 pin PCIe cable which I need for the gtx 1070. In my studio, I know I have a 6+2pin PCIe cable that belongs to a Corsair CX750 ( I think its a CX ).

Are PCIe modular cables interchangeable between different brands, I remember reading a while back it can be a bit dicey, so thought I would check, get some advice, before trying......Alternatively, would a 6 to 8 pin adapter work just as well?

Thanks in advance.

:)
