Just bought a ROG STRIX 850w PSU and it came with this monstrosity of a cable that I've never seen before.
The two ends are entwined between eachother in a way that you can't un-entangle without popping an end piece off
Is this an actual real cable design or is it mis-manufactured? It offends my sensibilities.

These cables do not look as tangled as yours do. I assume yours was built wrong.
Did you check in the manual?
They are the cables that connect the PSU to the GPU, and it came with this messed up one and two proper ones, I am assuming that it's a manufacturing defect.
The manual is literally only 1.5 pages (in English at least, it's an actual book with seemingly every language known).
The 1.5 pages only point out the power input for the PSU supply, the on/off switch, and the special button for the fan. It doesn't even show the layout for the other side with all the plugs.
Can't say I'm terribly impressed with ROG right now.
That's a pathetic manual.
