Cablemod ideas

xsimplyjosh

**Noobie in the forum, please help me out all appreciated**

 

so i kinda hate corsair's supplied stock modular cables due to the bunching up and looks funny and for awhile been thinking but now i am looking at cablemod for some asthetic and neater cable design

 

im thinking of red and black themed build. i know the necessary ones are usually the 24pin atx connector & the 6+2/8pcie cables.

my question is, are the molex cables and sata worth the extra buy? or would the above two suffice for most pro builds. most of those two cables would be at most hiding behind the back and never in the front...

 

also which cord would you recommend the mod flex or mod mesh... very torn between deciding the two.:(

 

thanks, anyone with pictures would also help graeatly as im looking for some quick ideas on how to do up my new upcoming build [or more like upgrade]

Ask @CableMod. They've got a rep on the forum, and they'll be able to help you out. If you post a parts list, they can probs help you find the best match for your build (personally I'm going to get the modmesh carbon ones when I upgrade to Ryzen)

@xsimplyjosh some cases you don't need the additional cables, but some prefer it. If yours aren't showing and you don't care about the added aesthetics on the back side, if you don't show it off for example, then you wouldn't need it and it would save you money. :)
If you want some more direct help, please email Matt@CableMod.com and we can review your parts list, and help with the differences in sleeving so you can better get what you need and want.

@CableMod thanks for the prompt reply! I'm only having one case with a side window (1 only) as im pretty sure the back tends to be a disaster sometimes no matter and the case i'm getting [if that matters] = CoolerMaster MasterCase 5 Pro has the windowed side..


Parts list if it's relevant [if any]:
GPU : Asus strix 1080Ti
CPU : [i dont think this really applies but 7700k]
Case : CoolerMaster MasterCase 5 Pro
Memory : Gskill ripjaws V 3GHz 16GB ddr4

psu: rm750x

HDD/SSD : 1TB 3.5" hdd // 250GB 2.5" Ssd

AIO: corsair h115i

mobo: z270H asus strix 

case/radiatorfans: corsair ml140 reds led and ml120s red led

Particularly black/red is the theme im aiming for, don't mind more red but if you have idea on how the black can blend in with red [cable wise] would be lovely for me to tinker about :) [yes all potential RGb will be changed to red only if any]

@xsimplyjosh so from the list you'll want the following:

1x 24-pin ATX

1x 4+4 EPS

2x 8-pin PCI-E (or 2x 6+2-pin PCI-E)

Optional:

SATA Power (Current configuration I would recommend quad for the option to add HDD's or SSD's later, and LED control)
SATA Data (Found here: https://store.cablemod.com/products/?filter_product-category=sata-data-cables)

Molex

@CableMod thanks for the suggestions :) i will get the above mentioned ones [minus the optionals] seeing those would stick out at the front
