Looking for solution for gpu power supply cables pressed against front glass - sometimes causing power issues

Theroses2008

My build : https://pcpartpicker.com/user/theroses2008/saved/wt9DwP

Currently, the power supply cables going into the gpu are pressed against the glass at a somewhat stressing angle, this has caused and been causing issues with power being supplied from time to time, having to resit the cables. What adapter or product could i get to fix this since i dont have much knowledge, thanks.

I mean they do make 90 degree adapters, quite a few of them are almost as bulky as the wires in my opinion.

 

If it's close, have you thought about just adding a washer or two behind the glass panel to space it away from the case some? If you're worried about dust, you can add a foam or rubber seal to close it back up. They make washers in rubber and plastic as well.  You can always get slightly long screws / bolts if need be.

Real sh#tty design from NVidia...

Something like TH WireView adapters don't take much "front" space and remove any cable stress

And looks good ! A bit pricey tho

So they have 90 degree adpaters but basically all are a hazard. You have a wide 7800xt so the solution is either glass off or wider case. Dont use as is as you are damaging your hardware

Just vertically mount your gpu. get a cheap vertical gpu mount off of Amazon that works even if your case doesn't support it. It would resolve your issue with the cables.
