Hi, just wanted to get people's opinions as to whether these wires OK being bent as they are. The cables on this XFX psu are quite tight together. I have another pci-e cable if need be but I'm trying to keep it clean looking.

There's the picture of it, I had to cut the mesh to bend it better.

Opinions?

Many thanks!

Individually, the wires are quite pliable - it's when you get them bunched together that makes it difficult to conform them to a tight curve. That's why a lot of folks prefer wires that are individually sleeved, versus the gang-sleeving that you have. As Eximo stated, as long as the wire is intact inside of the insulation, you won't have to worry about it. If you manage to kink a wire, like you might with a garden hose, then you might have something to be concerned about. Your current setup looks perfectly fine.

Thanks for the input both of you. None of the wires are split or have kinks so guess we are good to go. I'm planning on individually sleeving them at some point to clean it up anyway. Thanks!
