I need low profile / flexible PSU cables to replace stiff, unbendable stock PSU cables...

GuruMeditationError

I want to put an additional radiator in the floor of my PC case but my existing PSU cables are an obstruction because they're very stiff and unbendable.

Need recommendations/advice re. flexible and/or low profile cables I can replace them with?

My PSU: EVGA SuperNova 850 T2 

It has the following cables:

(x1) 24-Pin ATX Cable
(x2) 8(6+2)-Pin PCI-E VGA Cables
(x2) 6-Pin + 8(6+2)-Pin PCI-E VGA Cables
(x2) 8(4+4)-Pin EPS/ATX12V
(x2) 3 SATA-Cable
(x1) 4 SATA-Cable
(x1) 4 Molex-Cable

This is the pin-out (is it an industry standard pin-out, or do I need to take care matching the sockets?)...

Low profile cables that aren't a hazard don't really exist. So best you can do is a cablemod set but super tight bends and such still aren't happening.

Thanks; do you know if all cablemod sets will be compatible...?...are PSU pinouts standardised?

Always treat psu cables like NONE are ever intercompatible. Cablemod does list a kit that works on your pus.

Thanks, it's super expensive though :0/ 

Edit: I think I'll just try and very carefully separate the wires on the stock cables and run them around the fittings.

Easiest way to get flexible nice cables for a PSU is to sell your current EVGA one, and buy Fractal Design Ion+ or Ion+ 2. They have the nicest cables in their respective price bracket.

Thanks, but I love my EVGA Supernova. 

 
I actually found a less expensive cable set from CableMods: Classic ModFlex


CableMods's Pro Series were too expensive and use thicker cables for a more robust appearance, so worse flexibility also.  

But yeah, I went for the Classic ModFlex (E-series for EVGA) It seems they have the most flexibility of all three of CableMods PSU cable kit offerings.
