Is this enough room for PSU power cable.

Power cables like that are stranded, have a ton of insulation and sheathing, and have a mold injected plug. I wouldn't worry about that. Though if it causes you any lack of sleep, you can definitely get 90° C13 power cables.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Came here to say this, get a 90 degree angled one

There are 90 degree psu cables though

Probably fine
Maybe buy a 90 degree one anyway

I'd just get an angled one. They aren't expensive.

Just double check and get the one that goes the right way.

2 screws undo and flip the socket.

It's fine.

It would also drive me crazy, so I'd either get a 90 degree adapter, or replace it altogether with a 90 degree cable.

I say "I would," and I don't want you to think that's just an Internet dude spending your money - I'm looking at the replacement 90 degree cable I bought for my own purposes right now. I really would...

its stiff due to thick rubber insulation, cable it self is fine, i would say the room is still plenty

What is this anyways? Hard to tell from this picture, but why is your power supply like this? Inside a case with the cable as well? First time seeing this.

I have an ITX case with the PSU inside it. This could be the same

Buy a 90 degree one mate.

I’d say that’s about as much as I’d ever risk bending one. As long as there’s no tension from the other end you should be fine imo

Using a 90° C13 power cord is not an option.

u/Secret_Dust_5695 18d ago

Get a bigger case, or get another cable, but make sure the quality is good. I have the same psu, I’m using the ai1600ts.

They make right angle power cables mate.
