The big problem with the 12VHPWR (there’s a few) is that the housing doesn’t hold the pins and wires in securely. So a little bit of tension like you see here, will be pulling the ground wires loose on your 12VHPWR. It might also be yanking the power delivery wires out too with how much tension could be on the housing.

My son’s is like that innhis Omen 25L…. Thankfully it’s only powering a 4070 super.
This fucking connector… really sad to see Sapphire using it in one of theirs 9070XT models, would avoid it.

I think if that cord were going to have a problem, you increased the likelihood of that problem occurring.

This is how my 4090 would have been had I kept my original Lian Li case. I ran it for about a week without a side panel to avoid this until my new case came in.

I feel like the wires are being pulled out of the connector. I would check to make sure they are re seated when you redo this.

You risk it all, power bender!
Misuse this power and you’ll lose everything.

This is why I loved my last GPU design. That deeper power cable slot was way better.
Dude, just take the damn glass off. For real what is it with everybody being so desperste to put the glass on. You do not have to, for real, you DO NOT HAVE TO put the glass on.

Are the sense pins on the bottom of the top? If it’s the top I’d think it *might* be alright being that it’s putting pressure on the 12v wires. If the sense pins are on the bottom then I’d think it’s pulling the 12v wires which isn’t good for obvious reasons.
Even with no pressure it’s possible for the connectors to work themselves out with thermal expansion and contraction.
Either way not a good idea to keep it like this. If you’re set on keeping the side panel on maybe consider the 90 degree cable from cablemod (not to be confused with the recalled 90 degree adapter)

This scares me for when I get the sapphire 9070xt.

Yeah, just remove the sidepanel while you wait for a 90° adaptor

Looking forward to your melted cable post🫡

It’s going to burn.

When you do get your 90 degree cable, be absolutely certain it’s compatible with your power supply. Just because it fits doesn’t mean it will draw the same voltage.

You’re not gonna move it so much now that the computer is built. I’m sure it’s pretty good!

The bending was never really the problem itself, as long as the bend isn’t done in a way that’s actually pulling the connector out which yours doesn’t seem to. If anything it looks like it’s pushing the cable in towards the card more securely.

Too bent

You will become a fine firebender soon enough
90 degree cable waiting for you
I would leave the glass off and get a different cable.
RIP
at that point why not get something like this
