damn... But what if i got a full kit from another brand and directly connected it to the psu, that would be fine also?

I dont want extensions, my case is a 350D so cable management is kinda tight all together, imagine with extensions!!

That would not work since Corsair has different pin outs from other companies.

Hi guys!

I just got an AX860i and im thinking of buying some sleeved cables for it. Problem is i live in Portugal and it's really hard to get corsair products and its impossible to get their sleeved cable kit and Corsair doesn't ship here ( they ship to Spain but not Portugal...). My question here is, could i eventually buy bitfenix ( or other brand) cables? Is there gonna be compatability issues of some sort?

Thanks alot guys!

Nope, it should work perfectly. You won't be able to connect them directly to the power supply, though you can add them onto the current Corsair cable supplied with your PSU.

I think Bitfenix only makes PSU extension cables... That means you have to use your original Corsair cables, and then plug the Corsair cables into the extension then plug the extension into the components. You can't plug the extension cables straight into the PSU.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

@Jmds There should not be an issue because, they are extensions not full cable set.

damn... But what if i got a full kit from another brand and directly connected it to the psu, that would be fine also?

I dont want extensions, my case is a 350D so cable management is kinda tight all together, imagine with extensions!!

Nope, you would need to buy Corsair specified cables.

There may be some issues. You should contact the people making the kit to ask whether it will work or not.

Already thought of that but i dont have time ( or the patience unfortunately).

I don't know how i'll get a corsair kit but i'll try.

Thank you kind sir = )

You could also look at some custom manufacturers and ask if they have something available.
