When I put my back case panel on, the sata power cable (not the one that plugs into the motherboard but the power from the power supply connector) bends around 90° but a rounded curve. Can power supply connectors bend this much? Also the cables that connect from the motherboard bend around 90° but in a curved way.
Can they bend that MUCH? I've been using the pc for a couple days now and I haven't seen or found any problems with my files. I just don't want to damage anything...

I've bent SATA power cables to make a 180 degree bend with the stock cabling. If the system is running fine as is, leave it. If you're worried, then you can pass on a picture of the bends and how the cable work in your case is.

I'll be glad to pass on suggestions if necessary ;)

just for the research , i just cut open a sata sable .The wires inside are silver in color and bend 180 degrees easily, i even did bent it back to 0 and then 180 degees like i want to snap it but it stands firm. So in conclusion, you can bend it however you like!
