Cooler Master Releases the ATX 24 Pin 90° Adapter
Cooler Master today announced the release of their new ATX 24 Pin 90° Adapter. Building a PC is about more than just getting all the parts to work. Each custom designed, home built system is a personal experience that expresses the needs and desires of the builder in terms of both performance and aesthetics.
This new adapter is latest way that Cooler Master is helping people express themselves through the building of PCs. The ATX 24 Pin 90° Adapter is a universal adapter that allows users to connect the 24 Pin main power cable from their PSU to their motherboard at a 90° angle. It will work with any motherboard and PSU that uses the standard ATX 24 Pin connection type past, present, or future. Made with black ABS 94-v0 plastic, this accessory is built to last. Builders will be able to use it even after replacing their current motherboard and power supply unit. Since it’s universal, that means there are no brand limitations. Even systems that don’t contain a Cooler Master PSU can still make use of the adapter.
The benefit of a 90° adapter for the 24 Pin main power cable is that it opens up systems to a host of additional cable management options. Normally the main power cable needs to travel up behind the motherboard tray, through the routing hole closest to the 24 Pin socket, and then bend or fold over to reach the socket. With this adapter, that’s no longer the case. The socket can be approached via other paths, allowing the usual routing hole to be used by other cables without getting in the way of each other. It also reduces the amount of slack needed by the main cable to reach the socket.
The ATX 24 Pin 90° Adapter comes in two versions. The basic version is just the adapter. It’s plug and play and ready to be added to a system out of the box. The higher end version, which is also plug and play, comes with built in capacitors to ensure stable output. While the effects of this accessory on stability and efficiency are negligible, any added obstacle between the original power source and output destination can have some level of effect on the power supply unit’s overall performance. To combat these negative effects, Cooler Master has created a special version with extra capacitors built into the adapter to safeguard against any performance loss.
Availability:
The ATX 24 Pin 90° Adapter is available now. Both versions can be purchased online and at local retailers

For whatever reason, buying a 90 degree adapter never really occurred to me. I should look into it though, since the 24-pin connector kind of gets in the way of my CPU airflow. I have found some some generic right-angle adapters for half the price of the CM one, though you don't get the capacitors in those. I suppose depending on your motherboard and overclocking, you might want those caps, though I personally wouldn't really benefit much from it.

No clue on pricing on the CM one, but I suggest people to check out ali-express / eBay as well

what do you guys think of it?
For the looks this is nice, do you really think ripple will be such a big deal.
I would just buy it for the looks anyway, since a stiff 24 hardly bends and shows alot of cable....
For the looks yeah, but the 'ripple' sounds like marketing nonsense. A decent PSU will take care of an 'ripples' before outputting and even IF something got through the PSU, Mobo itself has a whole host of power smoothing circuitry built in.
I suspect that IF you are having issue with 'ripple' then this part isn't going to fix that.

Yea, it's marketing bullshit. A simple connector would not cause ripple, so the capacitors are a money grab. The only loss in performance would be from resistance if the connector is crappy material and can't handle the amperage.

Or just get one from Aliexpress without the dang CM logo that ruins it all.

They should make a kit of these connectors (24, 8's and 6;s) with different angles and lengths so that you can build the connectors out to show no wires at all. I think that could look really clean/cool.
If this happens in the future. Remember this post lol.

With no RGB, it's useless. 20euro for the capacitor one.

why did this adaptor take so long, been trying to find one for years, finally ordered a handmade one from china for $4 on ebay- amazon has them too. Looks and works great

Seconded, for practical reasons. My case is a large one, the PSU sits at the bottom, the two 8 pin connectors on the mainboard sit at the very top. The cables just barely reach them, it's a very very tight fit. 90° angled 8 pin adapters would give me that extra cm.

You could always get extension cables?

what is the difficulty of the motherboard manufacturers already having a connector like this?
I guess the eVGA already made.
