CableMod 12VHPWR ANGLED ADAPTERS V1.0 and V1.1,
90 Degrees and 180 Degrees, Variants A and B

We are voluntarily recalling all of our angled adapters to keep our customers and their hardware safe.  We have found that the male connectors on the adapters could become loose during cable management and system use, overheat, and melt into the GPU, posing fire and burn risks. We encourage all of our customers to participate. This recall applies only to our angled adapters and does not affect our angled cables.

How to Safely Remove the Angled Adapter from the GPU:

To ensure your safety, please follow these step-by-step instructions on how to remove the angled adapter from your GPU.

  1. Please do not touch the adapter while your system is running.
  2. Power down your system and wait until the adapter has had adequate time to cool down before handling.
  3. When the adapter is cool to the touch, depress the safety clip with your finger while gently pulling the adapter from the GPU.
  4. If you have the 180 Degree, Variant A adapter, you will need to use a spudger, popsicle stick, or other firm but flexible instrument that can fit between the adapter and GPU to depress the safety clip while gently pulling the adapter from the GPU. CableMod discourages use of a flathead screwdriver or other rigid instrument because of the possibility of damaging the GPU.
  5. If the adapter will not disengage from the GPU using reasonable force, the angled adapter may have failed.

Please do not touch the adapter while the system is running. Power down your system and wait until the adapter has had adequate time to cool down before touching it.
