Posted October 30, 2019 It's probably there to keep the mesh in place. Cutting it off is likely not a great idea, although I would kind of expect another layer of (uglier) tape or something below it. Or if you truly look into your PC enough times, you could invest into a sleeved cable set (like those of Cablemod.

Posted October 30, 2019 I think I know what you're referring to. You could cut it, but very carefully. I imagine it's there for cable management (to keep the bundle together). I don't have any issues with it's existence on my RM1000x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 30, 2019 Quote Why do corsair psu cables have that massive brick of shrink wrap?? The heat shrink is covering the in-line capacitors used on those cables. You can see a picture of the capacitors in the cables here: https://www.corsair.com/ja/pt/blog/Explanation-of-RMi-New-Type-4-Cables As you can likely see from the picture, cutting the heat shrink off will only end up making it look worse.

Spoiler Spoiler I have a massive ass full tower though, so it's possible I just don't have issues with routing and stuff. Also ignore the poor cable management, that's temporary for backing up my data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 30, 2019 12 minutes ago, The Torrent said: Also u guys know how the pcie cable has an extra 4 pin is it hanging off?? What actually is that for? Can i yank it out? PCIe cables are 6+2. No 4pin connector on them. If you're referring to the extra 6+2 connector on the PCIe cable, then if you're not using it the best thing to do is to just cable tie it back on the cable like you have done with that velcro strap.

Looks ugly tho. What are they actually for? I’d think to power a second graphics card but 1. Single wire for 2 gpu’s? 2. Corsair expect everyone to have a sli setup? (2 pcie wires both are for 2). would it hurt anything to yank it out? I ain’t ever gonna use sli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair expect everyone to have a sli setup? (2 pcie wires both are for 2). It's for graphics cards that require more than one 8pin connector.

Rm750x is never gonna be out of date really with a 10 year warranty and I ain’t ever gonna use more than 750w or even near. this is mine to keep and I’m never gonna use sli or 8 pin gpu Cuz I’m poor so resale value chuck that away I think I’m gonna yank this bad boy out... I might just buy a 24pin extension then for the other thing and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why waste money on an extension when you don't need to extend the cable? Just buy a different 24-pin cable without the caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. I take the extra performance every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Besides, there are plenty of other options if you feel that strongly about the in-cable caps. The RM for example (non-X or I edition). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is that much of an issue, just flip the psu on Ebay and buy a different one that suites your needs. I don't mean to be an ass, but you're really just making a mountain out of a mole hill here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
