I'm trying to find out if there's a list of power supply units (PSUs) that come with 12V-2x6/12VHPWR cables featuring 90° (L-shaped) connectors. The reason for this is that my case, a Fractal Design XL R2, is a bit too narrow for my Palit Gamerock 5090 graphics card when using the standard straight cable; it bends too much near the connector to fit properly. My current PSU is a Cooler Master V1200, which I bought back in 2015, and it's due for an upgrade to something that supports ATX 3.0/3.1. I've found a couple of Cooler Master models that offer the right cables, but they aren't available where I live. Another option I found is a 1000W PSU from be quiet!, but I need at least 1100W. I also considered buying a 90° cable separately, but I've been advised against using third-party cables with a different PSU brand. I would really appreciate any suggestions for a suitable PSU that meets these requirements.

From what I've seen, it's pretty rare for PSUs to come with 90° connector cables right out of the box. You might have more luck getting a third-party 90° extension separately if you can find a PSU that fits your needs. Just be cautious and make sure the cables are compatible with your PSU brand.
If you're set on an ATX 3.0/3.1 PSU with those cables, I recommend checking local listings for the Cooler Master models I mentioned. They might not be readily available, but sometimes other retailers stock them. You might also find that some newer models from other brands will start including these cables too, given the trend.
While that's true for most PSUs, I pointed out a few that do come equipped with the right cables in my post, like the Cooler Master models. Just keep an eye on compatibility; some users have had issues mixing brands.
