90 degree Adapters for RTX 4000 Cards - Safe to buy?

[d3ton4tion]

As the title says: Are the 90 degree Adapters for the 12VHPWR cables safe to buy now? Can't really find any information past the "omg get rid of them immediately" wave from like 6 months ago.

I wanted to get a custom one from Cablemod.

Just get a cable with a 90 built in, don't buy adapters. 

 

My 4090 has been powered by a ModDIY cable with a 90 built in or over a year now.

So if I just get a 12VHPWR cable from cablemod with a 90 degree connector on it I shouldnt have any problems right?

I am not guaranteeing anything, just giving my experience.

that recommendation hasn't changed and never will, it's that simple really.

CableMod never recalled the cables with the 90 degree connectors. They only recalled the adapters. In fact IIRC they were recommending people buy the cables with the 90 connector on it already while recalling the adapters at one point.

 

If I had to order something right now it would be a premade cable with the correct 90 degree connector, not an adapter.
