The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series has brought next generation gaming to our beloved PCs, but it has also brought a new connector. As well as some teething issues to boot. With the CableMod 12VHPWR Angled Adapters, things just got a whole lot easier.

What Does The CableMod 12VHPWR Angled Adapter Do?

The CableMod 12VHPWR Angled Adapters have been designed to simplify the connectivity to your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics card. This latest generation of GPU is considerably wider than previous models, and is leaving a limited space between it and the side panel of your PC case. As such, routing and bending cables through this gap can be tricky. By implementing the CableMod 12VHPWR Angled Adapter, you are taking the routing away from this zone and into a much more accessible area.

The adapters are 16-pin female-to-male connectors, orientated either on a 90-degree or 180-degree angle. Which you opt for depends on your graphics card. Thanks to its intelligent multi-PCB design, there is full contact between the terminals, thus making connections incredibly secure. Cheeky bonus, there is a reduced risk of thermal issues caused by wire or terminal stress!

Available Models

As previously touched on, there are a number of CableMod 12VHPWR Angled Adapter models available. Firstly, you can choose between a 90-degree or 180-degree model. These are then also split into two variants, Variant A and Variant B. Their primary difference is how the 16-pin connector is orientated. Variant A has the 16-pin header above the side-band pins, whilst Variant B is the other way around.

In short, there are four models to choose from. Which you choose will depend on the graphics card you have. To help you select which adapter you need, here are all four models and the GPUs with confirmed compatibility:
