I recently bought a moderately priced Inno3D 5070Ti graphics card, but I'm worried about the 12V cable that's connected to it. It looks like the cable is oriented incorrectly, but it's actually intended to be that way. I'm using a Cooler Master MWE Gold V3 850W power supply with the cable it came with. I've made sure the cable is fully plugged in, but it's pretty bent and even touches the CPU heatsink a bit. Am I safe to power this up, or should I be concerned?

That cable looks a bit too bendy for my taste. I recommend getting a 90-degree adapter to help with that situation. It'll keep things safer and tidier.
Thanks, that makes sense! I’ll look for a PCIe adapter for now and see if I can find a better solution. I honestly don't get why the angle is set up this way; it feels kind of silly.
