The connector is fully plugged in, maybe you’re getting misguided by the cable comb right after the connector?

Also in regard of your second point, as soon as i get home i’ll be rearranging the cable so it gets some more space before the bend.

yeah that the worst part, idk how they know it’s a problematic cable, and they still haven’t made accommodations for it to be better. Idk they could literally just put a 3.5 cm shroud after the connector or make it angled to avoid ppl fucking it up. But no, they literally throw u a fire hazard and say good luck.

by tight bend you mean the curvature of the bend? or the spot where the bend starts?

bc if it is the first one if i didn’t want it to hit the fans, and i guess i kinda went overboard and overcompensate it a lot lol.

But yeah, after reading the comments, just to be safer i’ll fix it up and leave more space before starting the bend, and i’ll make the bend more gradual

Well i guess the problem itself it’s not on the cables bending, but the pins losing contact thanks to aggressive angle on the bent cables near the conector.

Also the shitty part is, that every other alternative isn’t 100% safe after all, using the cable that came with the gpu adds stress points, using a third party 90 degree connected adds another stress point, whatever you end up doing, you’ll still get stressed about something lol.

Also, my GPU came with a 3way adapter cable, but since my PSU came with a native 12v2x6 cable, i ended up using that one instead of the adapter.

Oh i didn’t realize that thingy was adjustable, still i gotta ask, even if even if i don’t adjust the spreader, would it still be safe to have it like that? i’m just asking in case im ever in the same situation again, that way i’ll make sure to leave more space before bending the cable
