These new connectors are like some kind of sick joke.

  1. Is the connector melted? It’s hard to see. But if it is, cooler master isn’t to blame…

    Its about the connector, that wont fit properly.

  3. CalliNerissaFanBoy02

    My 5090 had the Same problem. Bought a Reverse Cable from Be quiet.

  4. i mean don’t blame coolermaster. That connector angle makes sense for every gpu that uses it besides sapphire. Blame them

  5. Nice with the stupid hidden 12v-2*6 GPU power connector design… Isn’t it bad enough with this tiny fire bomb installed in your pc? Modern tech solution is a huge JOKE.

    I dont get it, what is the problem? 😶‍🌫️

    That suck ! I guess you could buy a PSU extension cable kit to quickly solve your problem.

    That looks to be Sapphire Nitro+ 9070 XT, it should come with an adapter for 3x 8pin connectors

    Get a cable that’s bend the other way, usually labeled A for bend in one way and B that bends the other way.

  10. You rolled the dice by not checking before buying.

    If the either was inverted, it would have been perfect.

    The good thing is, I am sure cablemods makes a cable to replace that cable with the correct 90° to fit your needs.

    I am almost sure if all 12V2x6 cables were 90 degrees, the failure rate would be much lower.

    Well, plugging it in is one thing. But how the hell would you unplug it? The tab is literally unreachable

  12. hardlyreadit

    Does the psu not come with regular 6+2 pins? Just use the adapter that came with the gpu if so

  13. You can take off the plastic clip that bends the cable into the 90 degree angle. It will allow the cable to just come out straight

    Fwiw, the only thing making that connector, a 90° connector, is a plastic shell that forces the wires in one direction and clips onto the main body of the connector.

    You should be able to unclip the shell from each side of the connector with a small prying too, at which point you just have a regular connector.

    This card rules. Just get a normal cable. The one that came with my psu worked perfectly

  16. ThisAccountIsStolen

    12VHPWR cables are reversible, so if the other end is straight, you can just plug the angled end into the PSU and use the straight end in the GPU.

  17. Tell me you didn’t look at the specs before buying without telling me.

    its not coolermasters fault.

    its the gpu manufacturer doing something non standard

  19. Ok_Error_5835

    I don’t hand enough expensive gpus to see what the problem is here

    Someone explain pls!

    Why can’t they make nicer connectors than that?

    Like, why are we so sadistic at designing it like that, why can’t we have something as easy as Ethernet or USB jacks

  21. SEDOY_DED

    You bought card with shit connector placement. Probably the only one that has it. Not the cables fault

  22. LordOnion1227

    I have the same PSU. If you look closely, there is a removable plastic piece. It comes off easily if you take your time.

  23. dark power pro 13 the same shit, have an 5090 fe angled adapters not working 😂 2x 90^ included

  24. I bought the cooler master 1600w PSU with two 12vhp outputs, both cables angled the same way like c’mon man do one one way and the other flipped….

  25. BillyBlazed

    You got the STD type connector while your GPU has the RVS type header. Sadly not really the fault of CoolerMaster, more the fault that it wasn’t standardized.

    Just write them an E-Mail. I texted them because my SFX PSU had only 25cm cables but i needed longer ones and they sent me the 45cm cable kit for free. The also offered me free adapter cables in case i need them.

  27. Pancakesandcows

    My cats are the only ones who see the window on my case. I couldn’t care less if the cables are on top, or not.

  28. Shrimps_Prawnson

    Don’t blame Cooler Master for someone making that joke of a card.

  29. SnitchMoJo

    I mean, blame yourself for not doing the research before buying

  30. ShooterMcGavin000

    What GPU is this? So I know what not to buy.
