The problem here is that the "no bend" guidance IS NOT POSSIBLE with the 4090 in many or most cases - you HAVE to bend the cable pretty close to the connector to make it fit AT ALL in the case.
Didn't have that issue with the old 6-pin and 8-pin PCI-E power connectors.
Best to avoid ANY card that uses these connectors, given all the the "burn-up" issues and BAD DESIGN on this piece of junk connector.
Cases?!?! Pfft. Don't need no cases. Just get a test bench. Problem solved.
Try fitting 10+ machines onto a test bench.
Far easier to rack mount them - or at least stack them on some sort of shelving.
Especially stuff like SuperMicro 36 or 72 drive model servers.
Now that vorsholk has stopped his abuse, I'm returning to folding.
I no longer MOO due to abuses by certain "whales" in the Gridcoin community - so I now work the Distributed.net project directly again.
