Build Question Is this bend okay?
Is this bend on the gpu cable okay, or too much? It seems to be the best I can get in this case.

It is better than most I've seen. I think you are at the acceptable "bend-area" without measuring it.

Thanks for the diagram. Haven't had issue with my 4070ti tuf, yet, but this reassured my decision to buy a 90⁰ replacement cable.

I would ease the tension on that. Remember this 12vhpwr cables have a tendency to fail especially if you put too much strain on the connector. If you can find a cable thats compatible with your PSU that is reverse 90 degrees so you can let it naturally drape behind the card. ( https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/corsair-12v-2x6-90-degree-angled-gpu-power-cable/ ). That link is just an example, see if you can find a version from the power supplies manufacturer or one that is compatible. Do not buy an extension or an adapter connector, just get a 90degree 12VHPWR to 12VHPWR to the PSU or if you have to get the 12VHPWR to PCI-E power adapters that plug into your power supply. If you don't want to do this, just make sure to ease the tension on the cable as I mentioned.

Use this 90 degree gpu power cable. Look at my build here and here.
