What i wanted to know is the native gen 5 header on https://www.microcenter.com/product...-plus-titanium-atx-fully-modular-power-supply
can you use the new cable in the header for 50 series ?

Yes, I think these should come with the updated cables that have a blue tip. They should look like this,

Is the blue tip going to be on all updated 12v-2x6 cables ?

Nah, the brightly colored tip is there to make it easier for you to visually check if the plug is fully inserted or not.

It could be the usual black, bright yellow or any color depending on the power supply brand.
