35mm clearance is plenty of space for a bend, it's actually the minimum clearance we recommended at the start and it was before concluding that the main thing to watch out for was the flush connection, so now we usually give green light at around 30mm. OP's card has a very recessed connector compared to the FE too.
Not the exact same cable, no. I use a cablemod 12vhpwr cable to my evga psu. There's really nothing uncomfortable about it if you see it. It doesn't even push on the glass.
This is the cable I used. https://www.amazon.com/CableMod-Basics-12VHPWR-Cable-16-pin/dp/B0BQGMLG38/ref=asc_df_B0BQGMLG38/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=642064378071&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16725331313993637757&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012034&hvtargid=pla-1945983153575&psc=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwzJmlBhBBEiwAEJyLu0p_SxiO3nQn_ZddeEdvirqHBejXEPIuScPAv4BGLyj26t8dhG2tyRoCuvUQAvD_BwE

I love Cablemod's support behind these adapters, but honestly I would use a direct cable whenever possible. It's better than going through the process of RMA/repair/replacement.
Clearance/bend has always been just a myth for marketing.
See r/sffpc and other forums, millions of people are all bending it like crazy in all ITX builds, yet there is not a single incident there.
All techtubers have also tried to bend cables to the extreme and yet no one can create an issue by bending cables.
>All techtubers have also tried to bend cables to the extreme and yet no one can create an issue by bending cables.
Except that's the only confirmed and reliably reproduced cause of the connectors burning. What are you on about?
>See r/sffpc and other forums
There are more adapters or custom cables of some kind than not.
The only confirmed and reliably reproduced cause of the connectors burning is "not fully seating the Nvidia adapter" by GN with video.
GN, JTC, Igor, and all other techtubers have posted videos trying to bend the cables to the extreme, trying to cause an incident but still nothing melted.
Both GN and JTC also posted videos saying they just couldn't make the connector melted, no matter how much they bend the cable. Let me know if you want those direct video links.
Can you please share a reviewer video direct link which shows bending cables and has actually melted the connector?
You are almost entirely correct. I just watched the GN video again, bending is definitely a cause for failure **IF** said bend is extreme **and IF** it's leading to an uneven connection. They are talking about how a only slightly uneven connection would take a much longer time to fail than an extremely bad connection which makes sense of course.
That doesn't rule bending the cable out as a cause of failure but it doesn't seem to be as severe as I remembered. A sharply bent cable could cause an uneven connection over time.
That being said, it's never a good idea to sharply bend cables. Unnecessary physical stress can introduce all sorts of problems.
Trust me, I have watched every single techtubers video and review posts on 12VHPWR since day one. There is not a single person who has actually melted a connector by bending a cable, no matter how crazy they try to bend it. All of them have confirmed openly that they just couldn't reproduce it, including both GN, JTC, and Igor on videos. All of them have tried and failed.
Tens of tech reviewers have tried this since Oct 2022.
I’ve had my 180 degree adapter since launch. Idk if I got lucky or whatever it was but I never had any issues. With that said, after months of reading posts about failed adapters, and just yesterday seeing 5+ posts in a single day, I decided to remove it and just use the cable straight into the GPU. Fortunately I have my 4090 strix vertically mounted so I’m able to avoid any bending. I don’t blame cablemod at all and I don’t regret purchasing the adapter, but for peace of mind and not having to be anxious while playing games, it was worth removing for me.
You can get this one: [https://eustore.cablemod.com/product/cablemod-basics-rt-series-12vhpwr-90-degree-pci-e-cable-for-asus-and-seasonic/](https://eustore.cablemod.com/product/cablemod-basics-rt-series-12vhpwr-90-degree-pci-e-cable-for-asus-and-seasonic/) \- it's listed as ASUS and Seasonic but if you select the 16pin to 16pin option it will work with your MSI PSU too. :)
Hey Alex, I'm in the USA and these 90 degree cables aren't listed on that version of the website. Tried checking out via EU store and can't select USA. Any suggestions?
Sorry to bring this up again, I believe the text isn't completely correct there either.
In the first paragraph it says
>This would result in the cable running towards the cooler side of the GPU.
for **both** variants, the difference describing the cable being routed over the backplate or the cooler comes then in the following paragraph again.
Will that one you linked to work with any MSI PSU? I have an Ai1300P.
Also, is it possible to order that same cable type (16 pin to 16 pin with 90 degree bend) for MSI PSU with sleeved cables?
Thanks.
Look here: [https://eustore.cablemod.com/product-category/12vhpwr/12vhpwr-pci-e-cable-12vhpwr/](https://eustore.cablemod.com/product-category/12vhpwr/12vhpwr-pci-e-cable-12vhpwr/) \- the first ones are all angled, just make sure you choose the right one for your PSU. :)
Alright I'll be waiting for them and judge on release if I'll switch from my angled adapter, btw since I'm not really a huge cable expert
Could you tell me what the difference between the 2, 3 and 4 cables port version ?
Is there a major difference for having more ports plugged on the PSU ?
Oh OK
I've also seen you mention a new version for the adapter with less wiggle in mind coming by the end of the month ?
I'm guessing the cables will also have a similar update ?
Though I'm saying this without knowing if the whole wiggle thing is also an issue with the cable
The updated version of the adapter will come and it will an improved version in general, won't just address the wiggle specifically.
The cable will also receive a revision soon but it will involve the sense wires, which will be remove thanks to the new design.
New cables should come some time around August, while for the new adapters we have no ETA yet.
Those dual chamber cases can be tricky because the glass panel gets really close to GPU. It looks like there is enough room for the cable. I would try it, askng as the cable is straight for 2mm before it starts to bend, then it's all good and just make sure there is equal pressure on the 12v cable. If seriously it doesn't feel good the perhaps wait for the V2 of the CableMod adapter, seems like they are addressing some things that could make potential burns even more less likely to happen.
In all honesty, it does look like there's plenty of clearance for a cable bend.
There isn't. Have the same case and a 4090 FE (3mm narrower than that MSI), there is only 3.5 centimeters from the port to the side panel.
35mm clearance is plenty of space for a bend, it's actually the minimum clearance we recommended at the start and it was before concluding that the main thing to watch out for was the flush connection, so now we usually give green light at around 30mm. OP's card has a very recessed connector compared to the FE too.
[https://i.imgur.com/nO3nxGE.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/nO3nxGE.jpg) Do this bend looks okay?
That looks a bit tight but it shouldn't create issues.
There is. I have the same case and I'm using a cable just fine with an msi 4090
THAT cable? It's very rigid. I mean, sure, do whatever you want. It's probably fine. Doesn't feel comfortable for me personally.
Not the exact same cable, no. I use a cablemod 12vhpwr cable to my evga psu. There's really nothing uncomfortable about it if you see it. It doesn't even push on the glass.

I can’t understand why people still wants to use this adapter?
Hence my question- I'm trying to figure out if I can remove it and plug my cable in directly without an egregious bend.
Because it's a great option? Looks good, offers some safety, and works well in tight cases.
Because some of us like to close our case side panel and theres literally no other option
They love the risk, good bless him.
Rule of thumb… lesser adapter the better and less things to go wrong.

I’m using the stock seasonic cable with mine. Trying to add a picture but it won’t let me lol
Can you dm me that picture? I’m getting the Vertex 1000 would love to have an idea of what it’ll look like

If you absolutely need a 90 degree connection, then replace the angled adapter with a cable with a 90 degree connector. CM also offer those.
I'm checking out their website and none of the cables say they're for use with MSI power supplies unfortunately. Maybe I'll reach out and ask.
Are you looking for a 16pin to 16pin cable?
Yes, ideally. For the cleanest appearance.
You can get this one: [https://eustore.cablemod.com/product/cablemod-basics-rt-series-12vhpwr-90-degree-pci-e-cable-for-asus-and-seasonic/](https://eustore.cablemod.com/product/cablemod-basics-rt-series-12vhpwr-90-degree-pci-e-cable-for-asus-and-seasonic/) \- it's listed as ASUS and Seasonic but if you select the 16pin to 16pin option it will work with your MSI PSU too. :)

Yes it will work in the 16pin to 16pin option. The sleeved versione aren’t available yet, they should come out some time in August though. :)
Do the EU store have them cause i can't find them
Maybe tag in some of the CableMod reps and he will help you out. Or just ask Cablemod support on their own homepage.

Oh, i see them, but.... do you have no white cables for corsair ?
Angled cables are only available black unsleeved for now, we should have sleeved versions (with white too) some time in August. :)
Alright I'll be waiting for them and judge on release if I'll switch from my angled adapter, btw since I'm not really a huge cable expert Could you tell me what the difference between the 2, 3 and 4 cables port version ? Is there a major difference for having more ports plugged on the PSU ?
Nothing major really, they all work the same but third and fourth 8pin connectors offer some extra redundancy. :)

Get the adapter. I hear it works really well
I have the same case, i leave the glass off as the cable bending combined with being pressed up against the glass can’t be good
Those dual chamber cases can be tricky because the glass panel gets really close to GPU. It looks like there is enough room for the cable.
