Recommendations for Right Angle PCIe Adapter for a Tight Fit
Asked by
TechGuru42
Hey everyone! I'm in need of some help. My Lian Li Strimer Plus cables recently failed, which caused my PC to crash frequently. After figuring out the cause, I found that my original power supply cables for my EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra don't fit well due to the glass panel of my case. I'm using a fully modular Corsair RM750 PSU and I'm looking for the best solution to make this work. Would these options be good choices? 1. Premium Custom 90-Degree Angled Extension Cable or 2. PCIe 90° L-Shape Mini Low Profile GPU Power Cable? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you need something low-profile. The second option you mentioned is a good choice because it’s shorter and won't take up much space, especially in a tight setup like yours with the Lian Li O11 case. The first option might not fit well since it has a bulkier design. Just make sure you consider how much room you have left for the cable to bend after fitting into your graphics card!

If you're okay with not using an extension cable, you might want to look into a 90 or 180-degree adapter instead. I’ve been using these 180-degree ATX 8-Pin Male to Female adapters and they work really well with my setup without adding extra bulk!
TechGuru42: Thanks for the suggestion! Are those adapters compatible with fully modular power supplies like my Corsair RM750?
CuriousCableGuy: Yes, they should work fine with your PSU! I’ve used similar ones without any issues.
