That's not really my issue. I have space behind the motherboard to route all the cables. Specifically it's the cables inside the case leading to the graphics card. In order to clean up the way it looks, the two 8-pin cables basically need to put a 180 degree bend to go to the routing port. That's not a big deal, except that the cables that came with the power supply are braided and too rigid to keep that bend. So either they will slack, or it puts tension at the plug to the graphics card, which in turn puts additional stress on it's PCI-E slot.
That stress might be minor, but it would be no stress at all with some more flexible power cables.
