PSU extension

[JakubR8]

I want to get some white psu extension cables but i dont need every single one like the ones that come with so many cables, which are the main cables that i will need that can actually be seen on the motherboard. Going for some white ones.

 

I have both a gpu and cpu.

thankyou!, are extension cables good, ive heard you can get like direct ones that go into your psu but they all seem to be super expensive

Extensions work just as good

Extensions are fine.

 

You can get aftermarket modular cables in whatever style you want from companies like CableMod, but they have to be designed specifically for your power supply. (There's no unified standard to the connectors on the back of modular power supplies.)

 

Extensions that go between the power supply cables and the rest of your components are universal, so you just have to worry about their length and appearance.

yeah all im worried about is having to fit all these cables into a 26L matx case

Measure the length you need, otherwise it will be a nightmare to cable manage all that extra length

Cramped but certainly doable

 

Just dont go for like 30cm ones if you dont need to

It's a fully modular PSU. You better get white replacement cables with Type 4 pinout. https://www.corsair.com/eu/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920224/premium-individually-sleeved-psu-cables-pro-kit-type-4-gen-4-aca-a-white-cp-8920224

yeah i was looking at that they are just so damn expensive, but i guess if im buying a rtx 4080 super i might aswell spend another £80 on some cables to reduce clutter
