60 meters is bullshit.

I don't think you'll need more than 5 meter.

hmm i know that you will need more than 5 just roughly or the 24pin okay each wire is what 50cm long? x 24, there is 12 meters?!? but no way will you need 60 meters. for 100 meters its about £50!! im not paying that. for 3o meters is about £17

Are you really going to sleeve every single cable on the 24 pins????

You should really go to a doctor or something xD

You're better off buying a pre-sleeved 24 pin.

Well if you want to sleeve each cable individually you'll need a lot of meters.\

6 (x2) for PCIe

24 for 24 pin

4 (x2) for cpu power

4 (x.) for sata power

All of this x the length of each cable.

i know but you are forgetting about the molex and sata power cables too? how many eters would you expect i think 30 is a good estimate

yeah its not too exspensive £6.50 per 10 meters, but i dont want to be stuck with 10 meters of sleeving when i dont intend to do another rig. plus i live in the uk and it comes in from Germany i think. 

:D

For a 750w PSU, I would get around 54 meters especially if it is your first time sleeving, as you more then likely will run into trial and errors. With zero errors you are looking at around 42 meters.

the rm series has flat cables.

They are flat in a since but not actually flat,. The wires are factory glued together side by side to make a flat look, the wires are actually 16awg wires. The all black wires look good if you are not into color coordinating your build, but if color coordinating is a must, then sleeving the PSU cables is the only way to get that no mater if the cables are flat looking or not.

what i meant was that i found it extremely annoying to take apart the cables to sleeve them if they are flat. i'd rather make completely new cables.

Seriously... I have an RM 750 and just bought the Cables from Corsair. It's was only $86 so like 60 euros. Just a guestimate. You're wasting time in my opinion. The cables that come with the RM are terrible anyway. They don't bend easily at all. 

Also do you realize how long it takes to sleeve cables. For everything I'm going to say at least 10 hours. Another guestimate. The Corsair cables are great, individually sleeved cables. just buy those and save yourself the effort and time.
