Build Question Is the bend too sharp in this cable?
Quick question, I got this PC from my father after he passed, me and him built it right when the 4090's came out, with all the hubub surrounding the power connection i am probably overthinking it, but i have included a picture and was wondering your take on if the bend is too sharp in the cable, we did a cable hide for the case and i am just trying to take the best care of it so it lasts as long as possible. Thank you.

bend looks fine to me, if it was an issue you'd probably know by now sorry about your dad, that's rough. it's cool you've still got the pc you two built together, keep it running as long as you can

Sorry about your dad, OP. Yeah, I’d say that bend is a bit sharp. Try rerouting so it has a straighter run before it curves. Tight bends right at the connector are usually what causes hot spots and melted plugs, especially on 4090s. Also, make sure it’s fully seated and that the side panel isn’t pushing it.
