Replacement Unit Working Fine So Far
Updated Review (May 5, 2025)After leaving my original review, the company reached out and provided a replacement unit at no charge. I’ve installed the new one in the same high-performance system and, so far, I haven’t experienced any of the issues that occurred with the original adapter. No BSODs, USB dropouts, or network card detection problems — everything seems stable after multiple cold boots and reboots.It’s possible my original unit was just faulty, and this replacement is performing as expected. I’ll continue to monitor its behavior, but at this time, it appears the problems I encountered were specific to that first unit. I appreciate the quick support and hope this updated experience helps others decide what’s right for their setup.I installed this EZDIY-FAB 24-pin ARGB angle adapter on my custom-built system primarily for aesthetics and cable management. While it looks sharp and the angled layout is functional, this device introduced serious and unexpected problems that made my system unreliable. I would strongly caution anyone using high-performance hardware to avoid this adapter entirely.Original Review (March 24, 2025)My system specs include a Gigabyte X670E AORUS Master motherboard, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU, ASUS RTX 3090 GPU, TP-Link 10GbE network card (TX401), Corsair HX1000i power supply (ATX 3.0), Corsair H150i ELITE LCD XT AIO cooler, and several Corsair accessories including the K70 keyboard, MM800 RGB Polaris mousepad, and iCUE internal USB hub. Everything is powered through a Corsair PSU using multi-rail OCP mode.After installing this adapter, I started experiencing a wide range of issues that I initially couldn’t trace. I encountered frequent blue screens during startup, USB devices randomly disconnecting or failing to initialize, and my 10GbE network card would sometimes vanish entirely from Windows until I performed a cold reboot. iCUE devices also became unstable or failed to load altogether. In some cases, my system would hang during POST or fail to detect hardware altogether. It was a frustrating and time-consuming troubleshooting process.Eventually, I suspected the ARGB adapter and removed it from the system. Immediately after doing so, all of the above issues stopped. I’ve since performed multiple cold boots, resets, and shutdowns without a single failure or device dropout. This tells me the adapter was almost certainly introducing instability — whether due to poor power delivery, electrical interference, or unreliable PCB design. Even though the product description claims ATX 3.1 compliance, I don’t believe it’s safe or reliable for use in high-performance systems with sensitive USB and PCIe devices.While the product might work fine in lower-power builds or purely aesthetic setups, I cannot recommend it for enthusiast or workstation-level PCs. For the sake of system stability and long-term hardware protection, I suggest skipping this product and using a non-RGB 24-pin extension or a trusted cable mod from a reputable brand instead. I’m relieved this didn’t cause any permanent damage, but I won’t be taking that risk again.

Cool looking Cable Management!
I am in the process of cleaning up my cables in my PC and in my set up. I help to hide those ugly cords and looks cool doing it. No issues.

Thoughtfully pretty
Does what it says, doesn’t feel cheap and the mirror is effect looks nice. Make sure to consider the angle of your motherboard and case placement otherwise it won’t be seen let alone the mirror effect.I don’t like how the attachment mechanism doesn’t feel “firm” on either end as if it’s loose. Where the cables connect to the item I used electrical tape to feel more confident in the connection, even though it didn’t slip out in its own.If you have infinity mirror type items in your computer case, this will make a fine addition.

Incompatible with ASRock X870E Taichi
Incompatible with ASRock X870E TaichiThe ASRock X870E Taichi has some fairly robust heat sinks covering the two M2 drives on the board. One of these heat sinks is located adjacenet to the 24 pin power connector for the board. When that heat sink is in place, it prevents this 180 degree angled connector from seating properly into the power connector. I tried multiple times to press thing thing down onto the connector, but it just wasnt happening. The heat sink is simply in the way. So, if you have the same motherboard, look elsewhere for options regarding cable management in your build.

Works with my MSI x870e Carbon/Fractal North XL system
I wanted a 180° adapter for the 24pin atx power cable going from my Corsair HX1200i PSU to my MSI x870e Carbon WiFi motherboard in my Fractal North XL case. I wasn't meeting it to be all RGB, but this works perfectly and looks nice!It plugs in all the way unlike some other reviewers see with theirs. I verified with a camera all around it. I will say, the lack of a "click" made me question if it was plugged in or not. And I felt like I had to push harder than I should have. But it fits and all is well. I recommend they make a clip to click and some indirect control to unblock it when removing the device - I think that would solve most complaints.This plugs into one of the newer 5V 3-pin ARGB headers on your motherboard. I haven't messed around with customizing the light yet, so I can't comment there. But it does make pretty lighting effects by default. I'm sure it'll be fine when I get to it.So far, no problems. I'd recommend and would buy again.

Decent Quality but Questionable Design
There is no clip to secure the adapter to the motherboard. It's probably fine, but I will constantly be concerned that it isn't secured.The infinity mirror looks good but why the hell would you place the RGB strip on the RAM side? You can't see it when you have RAM installed. It would be much more visible if placed on the outer side.The feel of the plastic seems good. I would be giving this 5 stars but the two design flaws I listed are questionable that it makes me wonder what else they didn't do correctly. I have a couple EZDIY products now and they too have questionable designs.Also they are just using a mass produced product and slapping some RGB on it and their name.

Looks great, manages the 24-pin cable well
I wish I had known of this adapter sooner because it is a great solution for keeping the most annoying of cables, the 24-pin ATX cable, easily installed and managed. The look of the adapter is really nice, it has a separate 3-pin ARGB cable which I have been using with a cable splitter. This function isn't necessary but it makes the adapter look sharp and improves the overall look of the build, in my opinion. Installation onto the ATX cable and then onto the header on the motherboard was not problematic, the clearances are excellent. All in all, a great choice and I will use one of these again soon in another build.
