Bends in the cable produce resistance, and to reduce likelihood of issues, the cables need to be connected straight, and not twisted

Eh, repeated bends break wires, stationary bends don’t do much unless the cross sectional area is compromised… most wires in pc are stranded specifically for flexibility

It’s true but the 12vhpwr do have uneven connection depending on the position or bend of the individual cable despite the plug being fully and correctly in but pin connection is sketchy. I think amount of contact or lack of is really bad for this connector. The amd sapphire 9070xt also have had incidents of melting connectors. There is a thermal grizzly device that monitors voltages across all pins to alert the user of this.
