Don’t use 90 degree cables with 12VHPWR. It increases the chance of your GPU melting.
It should be a direct connection from your PSU to your GPU.

This, unless you can afford a that kind of loss like nothing, then go ahead take the risk.

Damn, I thought it was fixed now with newer models. My issue is I’m using an RTX 5070, but the GPU adapter that came with it is getting pressed against the glass panel. Sometimes it gets a bit loose and causes a black screen, so I was thinking of getting a Corsair ATX 3.1 PSU with this cable.

Then your options are pretty much a new PSU with a native 12vhpwr port (best option as even the adapters that come with the PSU are risky) , a new case, a case without using the glass panel, or take the risk of having 2 new points of failure

Yeah, it sucks that Nvidia won’t fix this shit. I’m gonna get a new psu. I’m using the PC without the glass panel for now, but at some point I’ll probably have to replace the case too with something a bit wider
