My suggestion would be to get sleeved EXTENSIONS, rather than a cable set, unless you can 100% guarantee that the source of the PSU you want to buy is as claimed.

So, I want to buy a Phanteks Amp 750 PSU, and add custom sleeved cables down the line. Since the Amps are basically reskinned Seasonic Focus-GX PSUs, and the connectors seem to be the same, will custom sleeved cables for Seasonic PSUs compatible with them?

It's not the connectors that would be the issue, rather the PSU end pinouts - only the motherboard ends HAVE to be the same.

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

AS above, the connectors may be fine but the pinout may be different

 

best was to check is to get a DMM and check the pin outs are the same

 

here is the seasonic ones

I did this for my NZXT S650 (which is a rebranded Seasonic Focus SGX)

That's a terrible idea.  "Let's make the voltage drop more by adding more cable length and additional connectors and.. oh yeah... now I have to hide all of this excess cable somewhere."

 

Phantek Amp does in fact use the same cables as Seasonic Prime/Focus.

Thank you very much, might have been a bit quick to mark that as a solution tbh
