  1. If it is a 4090, be careful. If it isn’t, you’re good.

    Pretty sure that’s exactly what they tell you not to do for a 4090

    It would be better to go the 90 degree adapter route instead of bending it. It’s a real flakey connector design.

  4. That looks like less than the advised 30 mm. What card is it?

  5. It’s perfectly fine as long as you have the connector fully seated.

    Is that the cable from beQuiet? I was looking into that, for my 4080

    Yeah cause this is a PSU provided cable, im gona guess BeQuiet. The problem persists with the Nvidia provided Cable, im using a Corsair PSU Cable with about the same bend and its fine since 9+ months

  8. Its fine what could go wrong

    If you want peace of mind, get one of those 90° adapters.

  10. So if you use cable from the PSU instead of the cable provided by Nvidia its safer ?

    God these posts just keep getting more and more ridiculous . Why do you scared ass people build computers . Buy a prebuilt .

  12. They will put the blame on you if anything goes wrong.

    It looks a lot less than the advised 35mm

    I bought a 90 degree adapter for a similar issue, and it’s been working great.

    They should’ve recalled all 4090s as a fire hazard

    If GPUs are going to stay this gargantuan. I’d appreciate it if manufacturers put the socket at the end of the card from now on.

    The recommendation is 2-3cm before you bend the cable so there is no pressure on the actual connectors. This looks within that guidance. You can also just pick up a 90 or 180-degree adapter on Amazon for like $20-30. I picked up an EZDIY-FAB adapter and has been working great for a couple months. No voltage issues even with a slight overclock on my 4080.
