Caption says it all.
All i can find on various platforms (Amazon, Ebay, AliExpress and affiliates) .. are 90 degree adapters WITH senses pins.
The problem is .. the RTX 3070 does not make use of the sense pins .. and the connector does not offer any space to plug in an adapter with sense pins (Founders Edition)
So .. does anyone know a (preferably low profile) 90 degrees connector for a 12 pin GPU without sense pins?
Reason for that possibly unusual question. When i place the GPU into the case vertically, i have to bend the original 12 to 8 pin adapter cable quite strongly .. so much that i do not feel is "healthy". It interferes with the scythe fuma cooler tower. There is roughly 1cm space ... and while i CAN bend the cable, it does two things .. push the GPU down and push the cpu coller up, putting strain on the pcie mount as well as possibly interfering with the CPU cooler contact to the cpu.

You may need to recognize that adapters are responsible for most issues in the PC sector. This applies especially to SATA adapters. It’s recommended to use the included harness for your PSU. If your PSU doesn’t have a 12VHPWR harness, opt for PCIe harnesses alongside the adapter that comes with your GPU.

Someone might ask for a (preferably slim) 90-degree connector for a 12-pin GPU without sense pins. CableMod was the first to mention their adapters were well-made and would prevent connector damage. They received high returns and depended on the expertise of NorthRidgeFix and GamersNexus to find the problem.

The unusual question comes up because when I mount the GPU upright, I have to force the original 12 to 8 pin adapter cable very tightly... so much that it feels unstable. This affects the scythe fuma cooler tower. There’s about a 1cm gap... and although I can bend the cable, it does two things: it pushes the GPU down and raises the CPU cooler, which puts stress on the PCIe mount and may disrupt the CPU cooler’s connection to the CPU.
