I just got a prebuilt rig and was wondering if I could get away with this amount of bend on the cable? It's roughly 20mm before the bend and I'm aware the optimal would be 35mm. I tried straightening it a bit but it's pretty rigid and tight.

 

 

 

That cable looks quite bendy as its not fully sleeved.

Should be fine in my opinion.

it doesn't look that bad, i don't like the fact that it's not fully sleeved but it looks fine anyway. 

 

just check that the connector is fully clipped into the GPU because it looks tiny bit corked

It's not fully sleeved so it can make that bend,  If it was, it couldn't.

It's fine, we all do bends like that when coming up underneath.  Wires in that bend are not the issue.

Thanks, that's reassuring to hear!

I have ample room beneath and beside my GPU, and my cable pretty much is at that bend due to gravity.
Unless I use the way way way more stiff version of the cable for my PSU.
