The problem is that some PSU's have moved some of the pins around in an attempt to make their cables proprietary. So unless you can prove that those cables will absolutely line up with all the pins on your modular PSUs, then you may need to do more searching. 

 

Also if you do need to do more searching, then @CableModcan help.

you plug the end of your normal psu cables into the white extentions they arnt for modual power supples they are universal but do you consider this a safe product

They are the LEAST safe, actually.

What's the main concern for points of failure on these cheapos?

Yeah I would trust the guy who's entire forum account is filled with Power Supply expert. This is not sarcastic. I just have never heard of him before and he has already gained by trust in the world of PSUs.

melting/fire like in the dirt cheap units

last thing i need is a broken system

I don't mean the symptoms, I mean what are these specific cables doing wrong

they seem to have the best reveiws with no melting while the cheap ones have caused such issues and i think these are thge safest and im asking what your opinion on these cables are

I think it's ironic that they advertise using 18g.  18g... on an extension.  So you're going to take your 16g PCIe cables and extend them with 18g?  Maybe they didn't realize that in AWG, the larger number means thinner gauge.

 

Also, a lot of unknowns.  Are the connectors UL94 rated and, if so, to which rating?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UL_94

 

And are they using standard Mini-Fit Jr. terminals or the HCS (high current system) terminals that PSUs tend to use?

 

Do look at  some of the 1 and 2 star reviews.  They all say pretty much the same thing.  The LOOK great, but the connectors are really sloppy.  What happens when you have sloppy connections?  That's when the melting starts.

 

They're extensions.  I'm going to have a bad attitude about them regardless.  You don't take an already long ass DC cable and extend it by 300mm (a foot).  Anyone that knows Ohm's Law knows that's asking for trouble.

 

If you want "prettier cables", you get cables made for your PSU.  Even if they're 18g.

So it's not even a modular PSU?

 

You're wanting to spend more on cables than the PSU is worth.  Never mind.

Can you recommend extension cables for the Corsair RM1000x?

Lol, no. Jon wouldn't recommend extensions...

RM1000x is modular so you can buy replacement cables for it in various colours. "Corsair Type 4" cables is what you need to search for.

Corsair, CableMod, TitanRigs... Who else has complete cables?

Bitfenix has full replacement kits with Alchemy. The Alchemy 2.0 "CSR" range is for Corsair Type 4 cables which will work with the RMx

 

 

Can't really think of others off the top of my head. I've honestly never been that interested in sleeved cables myself, probably because my case doesn't have a side panel but I think I'm just cheap and would rather keep the money.

Do you know if this cable kit will allow me to connect a 3090 FTW3 (which requires 3 8-pin connectors) to the RM1000x?

If you buy a kit with enough PCIe cables, yes... I don't know which kit you're referring to though.

That comes with two PCIe cables that have 2 connectors on the end, plus another two PCIe cables that have a single connector on the end. A total of 6 PCIe connectors. It doesn't have 3 single connector cables so you would need to use a single cable plus a cable with two connectors on it, or 2 single cables and a cable with dual connectors and just have the extra connector tucked away.

 

1 x ATX 24-pin (1x 610 mm)
2 x EPS12V/ATX12V 4+4-pin (2x 750 mm)
4 x PCIe 6+2-pin, dual connector (2x 650 mm)
2 x PCIe 6+2-pin, single connector (2x 650 mm)
8 x SATA (2x 750 mm)
8 x Peripheral (2x 750 mm)

I think I’m misunderstanding, but are you saying I can use one of the 2 x PCIe 6+2-pin, single connector (2x 650 mm) and one of the 4 x PCIe 6+2-pin, dual connector (2x 650 mm)?

 

If so, why does it say there are four of the latter?  Sorry for my stupid questions.  Talking about GPU cables confuses me because I get them mixed up with CPU cables.
