Hello. Recently I've bought a new PSU and a GPU and I am very paranoid when it comes to these cables. My case is fairly small and isn't made for a decent cable management, but I managed to save some space by pulling the 24-pin cable through the hole on the back of the case. My question is, are these cables (6-pin for GPU and SATA power for SSD) bent too much, as shown in pictures? Does it affect cables or GPU and SSD? Also I can't close the case because of 8-pin and 6-pin cables attached to the GPU and I will definitely consider buying a new one. Thanks in advance.

As long as its still plugged in fully and its not causing the wire coating to peel off it should be fine. I’ve done similar bends like that with no issues for years.

Quote me or @TwilightRavens if you want me to see your reply. I may go inactive for a long time from time to time because I forget how to socialize, but I will be back... eventually.

No, they are perfectly fine, in fact I'd say 99% of builds have much tighter bends than those. All my builds over the last 10 years + have had tighter bends than that for sure.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
