Do they make 90 degree psu power cables?
please recommend me one I just want to make sure I'm getting the voltage I need lol

these are my specs

Thermaltake Core P6-White
MSI B650 Tomahawk AM5
AMD RYZEN 7 7700X 8-Core 4.5 GHZ
EVGA RTX 3080(Hybrid)-12GB
Corsair H150I 360 AIO
2TB NVME(X1)//1TB NVMe(X2)
G skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000-32GB
850W Watt EVGA PSU 210-GQ-0850-V1
Windows 11-(X64)
 
You mean power csble from the outlet to your PSU

Or from the PSU to your mobo?

Both types exist
 
search amazon for "right angle psu cord" find the one that goes the direction you want. (u/d/l/r)
 
I would also consider ordering a 16AWG cord as well as that power supply unit draws 12 Amps from the AC line and the "standard" 18AWG ones are only good for 10 Amps

^Basically make sure the wire's specs either state it's actual Copper (aside from AWG of course), or the cable itself has something like "Cu" and not "CCA" (copper-clad aluminum).
This stuff actually starts to affect your gear beyond 3-5 Amps. And, Aluminum is brittle, which isn't great for angled plugs.
Beyond like 10 amps, you're starting to lose nearly half of current carrying capability. This number comes from my ass, but I have observed this while modding my UPS.

As for the angled plugs themselves - sure, they exist, shouldn't be a problem.

Hold on to old power cables, guys, I'm serious. Back in the day, they didn't pull this kind of stupid shit as often as nowadays.
