CableMods PSU Help

Fuzz_Ball

Bare in mind, I haven't bought the psu and cables yet, but trying to figure everything out. If this is in the wrong spot, I'm sorry. 

 

The PSU I was looking at is the EVGA SuperNova P6 1000w and I was looking at the configurator on CableMods. I looked under their custom cables and I am unsure if the psu is consider to be P6, which is on the drop down, or would be supernova p6, which isn't. I am unsure if I should get custom cables or custom extensions. 

 

The Case I have is the Phanteks Enthoo Evlov x case

RAM - G.Skill RipJaws V 2x8GB (16GB). GPU - MSI 1070 Gaming X

I would recommend you just buy an extension kit from cable mod instead of buying it for the specific psu. There are some at micro center for about 30 usd

extensions are not recommended. longer cable = more resistance = lower voltage

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Issue with Microcenter is... is about eight hours away from me, unless those extensions can be shipped. The thing is, I don't want a typical 'red and black' color theme.

This is 100% true however its over all effects for most users would be negligible.

The question stands tho, if I would get the EVGA SuperNova P6, would the choice on CableMod's website be 'P6?' As I am unsure if there was another P6 without the SuperNova tag.
