I'm looking to get a reliable 90-degree adapter for my GPU, but I've heard mixed things about the 12VHPWR connector being problematic. Can anyone recommend good brands or specific models that are trustworthy? I had considered CableMod, but I watched a video from JayzTwoCents where he talked about some issues with their products, so I'm hesitant. Any suggestions?

CableMod has recalled all their 12VHPWR angled adapters due to issues, so I'd be cautious about those. Personally, I went with a 90-degree cable from Amazon. Just make sure your power supply has a direct 12VHPWR connector for it to work!
Check out the Thermal Grizzly WireView. It's pretty nice. Just a heads up, though—it's a bit pricey if you're on a budget after buying your GPU!
Yeah, I like the design, but after shelling out for my GPU, I can't justify that price right now!
Corsair has a 90-degree 12V-2x6 cable that could work for you. There are two variants depending on which way you want to route the cable. Just FYI, it might help with the setup you're using!
I think I might go with this one! I love the sleeved look, plus I have an RM1000x, which needs the old connector anyway. Just my luck, it's sold out everywhere in Germany and won’t be back for a month.
I thought about that one too, but I really prefer the sleeved cables by Corsair, so I'm probably going that route instead.
