90 Degree 8pin power adapaters

So I wanted to clean up the look in my case by getting some adapters to help with cable management. However I can only find the 12v ones with cable mod and I don't think they do regular 8pin 90 degree power adapaters.

Problem is I don't want to fry my gpu and I don't know any other trust worthy brands. Can anyone recommend any, amazon or not, don't care. Saw some on amazon and they were quite cheap so that's what has got me weary.

Should have a 450w cap just in case.

I only have a 7900xtx so it mainly draws only 300-350 watts underload but MSi afterburner has shown very occasional spikes to 402watts

Gotta make sure my $1000 gpu isn't fried.

A 450W max is supreme overkill. You've got 2 8 pins, each would only carry 200W in your max scenario

I don't think there's any risk with any chinese 8 pin adapter, as the 8 pin cables are way more sturdy (relative to their power) than the 12 pins, DerBauer made an interesting YT vid about that recently

As @OddOod wrote even 2 cables will be enough, at max +15% power a 7900XTX "only" reaches 450W 😛 

With a larger budget you could get a way funnier accessory :  https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/wire-view-gpu/s-tg-wv-p38n 🙂

Exact scenario I want to avoid!

And to be clear I am not on about some weird Chinese knock offs. I am just wondering if anyone had any good recommendations from a reputable trusted brand/company.
