I just got my PC back from a repair service, and I noticed that the GPU cable is plugged in at an odd angle. I'm wondering if I should try to reroute the cable for better management and safety. Here are some pictures showing how it looks: [20260214-171827.jpg](https://postimg.cc/943c85RL), [20260214-171839.jpg](https://postimg.cc/5QtJYfGK), [20260214-171849.jpg](https://postimg.cc/FYS4JWWd).

It looks mostly fine, but that upper right pin seems to be under more stress than you'd want. It's not ideal since bending the 12VHPWR cable can lead to issues later on, and you might face problems if the cable melts. I definitely wouldn’t go back to a shop that doesn't take cable management seriously; it only takes a few minutes to do properly. I recommend you reroute the cable to ensure a smoother curve, either upwards or downwards, while keeping the bend as wide as possible. Check out this picture for a good example of cable management: [link](https://imgur.com/a/JmPOetz).
Here's the best I managed to do with the short cable. It's a tight fit, but I took a clearer shot to show the bend now: [20260214-175753.jpg](https://postimg.cc/TLvYwyrh), [20260214-175807.jpg](https://postimg.cc/svHjWHYj), [20260214-180144.jpg](https://postimg.cc/Y4ksCMhy).
I think I can only bend it upwards due to the space. The other direction is kind of blocked by the USB3 cable and the big GPU with its leg stand.
