be quiet PSU cables issue

[devdeep]

• #1

Planning to use be Quiet Straight Power 11 750W PSU. The SATA cables seem to have special connector at the PSU end. I am also planning to use be Quiet 900 Pro Rev 2 full tower. I may need longer SATA cables and not sure if I can buy 3rd party ones as the PSU connector end can be a problem. Can anyone using this PSU / case advice please? Or is there an extension that I can use to extend the length of one SATA power cable to reach the external 5.25" bay if necessary?

When you buy third party replacement cables you need to buy cables that are compatible with your model of PSU. Any cables you buy must be compatible with the BeQuiet Straight Power 11 series PSUs, they will use the same type of connector on the PSU side.

 

 

You can see the length of the included cables here. The SATA cables should be able to reach the 5.25" bay without any issues in the Dark Base 900 case.

Thanks a lot for this. Looks like the SATA cable are almost a metre long (550 + 3x150). Should be enough without 3rd party option.
