90° GPU Connector

Question

So I pulled the trigger on grabbing a 5080 now, I know the Supers are rumored, but this was WAY below MSRP for an ASUS 5080 TUF that I can buy now. I may sell it and go for a Super down the road, but for now I am very happy with this over my old 3070.

Anyway, my question is where can I find a 90° 3x8 GPU connector? I checked on the ASUS website, they don't sell them. Checked the Corsair website, and they only sell a 2x6. I looked at places like Cablemods, but everywhere I can only seem to find a 2x6 connector. I've found a few on Amazon and AliExpress, but I can't seem to find anything from a reputable place. I would even just take a 90 degree connector that I just plug the stock cable into.

I also question how safe they are, I know when they first came out I saw some real horror stories about them melting. I've even read that bending the one that comes with the GPU could cause issues which is why I haven't even put my side panel back on because I would have to bend that connector almost 90 degrees just to get the panel closed.

If I can't find a good cable I may just consider a case upgrade, though my Lancool II has been pretty good too me, and no one really had any suggestions about a better case on a previous post.

Thanks
