Question Using a 24-pin ATX 90 degree angle adapter at the PSU end ?

Can anyone confirm if it's OK to use any 90 degree ATX adapter at the PSU end instead of the motherboard end they are normally intended for? There's not a lot of space in my ITX case below the PSU sockets and an angle adapter would be a much neater solution for the ATX cable.

The particular Cooler Master one I want to use has anti-ripple caps built in so I'm wondering if it makes any difference which end of the 24-PIN cable it's used on. The cheaper no-brand ones are direct pin to pin connectors (with no caps) so I'm confident it makes no difference which end they go - like an extension cable.

I'm just worried their might be some difference with the Cooler Master one that I'm not aware of?

TIA

Its most likely on the motherboard side, the PSU side is going to be a different pinout or even a different plug or 2 plugs even, I haven't seen any right angled adapters for the PSU side of things.

Thanks for the reply. I won't take the risk with the CM product. But just to be clear, if I use an adapter which is just straight through pin to pin connections - like an extension cable - and plug the normal cable supplied with the PSU into that, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
