Question about 90 degree 12VHPWR cables - Seasonic

Go to solution Solved by Spotty,

Cablemod recalled their 90 degree angled adapter connectors. You can read more information on their recall page: https://cablemod.com/adapterrecall/

Supposedly the 90 degree full cables did not have the same issues as the 90 degree adapter connectors. The full cables should be safe to use. The cable you linked (RT-Series) is the correct cable for your Seasonic power supply.

 

If you're buying the cablemod angled cable pay attention to the A / B variants, that dictates whether the cable will bend up from the connector or downwards. With your card if you want the cable to go down you will need the A variant.

I have an "issue" where I want to install my 12VHPWR cable from a Seasonic Prime TX PSU to a 5080 Astral, but it won't really fit nicely without bending the cable really hard, which I've heard one shouldn't do with these cables, as such I'm looking to get a 90 degree adapter, but those seems prone to melting? Please correct me if I'm wrong here. 

 

So I'm wondering if a full length cable from say CableMods is a safer option? Like this one: CableMod RT-Series Pro ModMesh Sleeved 12VHPWR 90 Degree

 

Just so I don't ruin my card 😄

Thanks!

Whatever you do, make absolutely sure that you have fully inserted the cable. Visually check it from as many angles as you can.

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

which is a pretty useless exercise when the latch on these cables is so weak it'll come undone just from the weight of the cable.

 

my 4070 isnt "squeezed in" by any means, yet after test-fitting the sidepanel i found that the <absolutely certainly> latched connector had come undone.

Yikes, I'm kinda glad that I'm yet to put a 40 or 50 class card in a case that tight...
