I'm dealing with a bit of a tight squeeze with my Lian Li o11 dynamic case and the Asus 5070ti TUF GPU. The new 12vhpwr cable is making it tough to close the side panel without forcing it against the glass. I don't want to bend this cable too much, so I'm looking for some advice on what to do here. I've heard about the Cablemod 90-degree adapters, but I believe they had issues and stopped selling them. What are my options?

Vertical mounting is definitely a cool option if you're looking for a different aesthetic. Just be aware that this setup can lead to higher temperatures and noise since it puts the GPU fans right up against the glass. Plus, you'll also need to invest in a vertical mount and a PCIe riser cable, which isn't cheap.
You have a few choices. You could either switch to a different case, go for a vertical mount for your GPU, or look for a 90-degree 12vhpwr cable, which some people recommend. Just keep in mind, Cablemod has stopped selling the adapters but you can still find direct cable options for connecting your PSU to the GPU.
Actually, the 90-degree cables are still available, just not the adapters. I think the heat and noise concern with vertical mounting is valid, especially since you've got Noctua fans which are great for keeping things quiet. It's all about finding that balance between looks and performance!
