90* SATA on the mobo yes or no

Danfoss2011 · 29 Mar 2011 at 11:50

Any reason as to not use a 90* SATA cable directly off the motherboard?

It fits, i've plenty of space, there is no strain on the cable, plug or board.

I'm just wanting to do it for looks, ie the plan being so it looks like no cables are pluged in at all what so ever!

Should be fine.

I've used them in the past - no problem

As above

Good stuff, just seamed to be some debate about it and the manual says not too. Thanks lads

I used to be the opposite to this, I used to fit those ends to Motherboard until I read the manual and was like "Oh I see now, alright"

I only have 2 SATA items conected so I couldn't really see there bening a problem but always worth asking

Don't get that

Press and hold the alt key then 0186 on the numeric keypad

And there was me thinking it was ALT-248 (probably showing my age with ASCII)
