Bitfenix Alchemy extensions: Any good?

ManWithBeard1990

Title says it all, basically. Does anyone own these or know what the quality is like (esp. the white ones)? Is it heatshrinkless? Is it like a good cloth-like soft braid or harder and more plasticky? Are they worth it versus just doing it myself? Perhaps a better alternative?

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

They are good, not as good as DİY since you can use more premium sleeving, but they save you alot of time so imo they are worth it

Though doing it yourself would be my preference they are reasonably good cable extensions. Lutro0 customs has much more premium ones if you are interested. :)

They're quite pricey, and will create quite a bit of cable clutter, but they're also (fairly) high quality and if you don't fancy the idea of tearing apart all of your cables, a fairly good way to go. Oh, and as far as I know they're heatshrinkless, if that matters to you a lot.

well I have two of them, the quality is standard I remember they kinda feel flimsy enough and hard at some point mainly because of the packaging(the bend part),

for the price its kinda overprice for me, will be better if you can make your own

Where I live, it's cheaper to buy sleeved cables like the BitFenix Alchemy than doing them from 0.

 

And they use "Premium Ultra-Dense Weave" according to BitFenix web-page.

 

 

I have some BitFenix Alchemy cables for my mini-ITX Z97 build:

 

1x BitFenix Alchemy SATA 3 Cable 30cm - sleeved red/black

 

1x BitFenix Alchemy internal audio extension 30cm - sleeved red / black

 

4x BitFenix Alchemy 2-pin I / O panel extension 30cm - sleeved red / black

 

 

And will get:

 

2x BitFenix Alchemy internal USB extension 30cm - sleeved red / black
