CableMod Angled Adapters

[Gavster]

For those that are interested the angled adapters for the 12VHPWR leads are up for pre order, 90 degrees and 180 degrees and they can be configured to go either towards the front of the card or to the back.

not compatible with EK water blocks though

It is with the EK quantum vector2 Strix tuf 4090 and the EK quantum vector2 FE 4090 without the active cooling backplate

I got the email the other day, and I like the tidy look of the adapter, but in all honesty I've got used to the look of my current cable setup and there will only be more risk involved having extra connections on a 600W cable. And at $40, think I'll give it a miss for now.

I bit the bullet and decided to get a 180 degree adapter for my 4090 with a EK waterblock and a coloured cable to match my other cables, and a second adapter for a friend which helps divide the delivery and import cost between 3 items and not just 1.

I have the 180 degree one and there's just one problem with it: it's fractionally too big. It pushes against the CPU fan and there's a big gap - perhaps 5mm - between the backplate of the GPU and the connector.

Your fans could do with a clean

It`s a shame it`s just too big, mine will be vertically mounted and I have water blocks so there`s less to get in the way. I haven`t had any confirmation of shipping for mine yet either.
