From the article.... One of the interesting things about the new 12VHPWR V1.1 (12V-2x6) adapter is that CableMod gives owners of the original adapter a $39.90/€39.90 coupon to buy themselves the new version of the device. Essentially, owners of the version 1.0 can get themselves a 12VHPWR V1.1 (12V-2x6) adapter for free.

For free? Is this a Joke? The custom angled CM adapters should have been recalled. But Cablemod prefered not to do and instead offer a free replacement program. And you need pay shipping a second time. Pay more for a product that shoould have been recalled? That's much cheaper for them than issue an official recall. But I expect they was afraid for even worse damaging of their already sinking reputation. And the tech channels/webpages eat it freely.. That's sad.

I still believe that NVIDIA should be paying for all these cable replacements. They knew. There is no way they could not have known.

I have the original and love it. Nothing wrong with it. I will take the new version for free thank you. Now I will have 2 and will use both. Why all the anger did yours melt or just want to be all angsty about something someone else is having an issue with...

Same, I've been using the 180 deg V1 Cablemode 12VHPWR connector without any issues and plan on getting another 180 deg angled connector for free. This is very nice of cablemod, knowing some folks with the V1 had issues.

I am confused on which one to get - the 90 or 180 degree. I think I will order both and see which one fits my build with the ASUS TUF (or maybe the Strix) 4090. I am mounting the GPU upright in the new Lian Li O11D EVO XL case. If you go on the Lian Li website, the main image of the new case is the ASUS Strix GPU, but I'm having trouble picturing in my head which way the power cable will run. I think I need the 180 degree adapter, but not sure.

Thanks CableMod! My original adapters worked fine. The Free Newer ones look very nice. I just ordered several adapters and cables from CableMod.

These are nice quality products. The Adapters and Cables are top tier! I custom ordered 90° cables to connect directly into some of my EVGA power supplies. (ie no adapters just the cable). You can customize the Color of each individual wires on the cable, how many combs, Length etc.

I literally saved hundreds because of the Coupons. (We got one for each of the Adapters and Cables we originally bought).

While it's nice that the PCI-SIG and CableMod revamped the 12VHPwr to be more robust, it's important to remember that the internals of a computer, while generally more serviceable by the average person, was not meant to be serviced by the average person. Or at least the expectation is that it wouldn't be serviced by the average person. So having some things be a little more finicky is par for the course, because the expectation is whoever's touching it knows what they're doing and makes sure that everything is in its proper place.

I mean, if you have a car, take a look under the hood. For the most part, you can service it as long as you have the right tools and whatnot. But the engine bay of a car was not designed for muggles to mess with because the expectation is you'd take it to a mechanic.
