Psu Cables

Go to solution Solved by W-L,

It has taken me about a year and a half almost two years to get my current pc. Now my question is what can I do about my ugly Power Supply? I really hate how the cables look and I don't have very much money to upgrade it. So I thought about sleeving it myself or possibly getting some extensions, but since it's a semi mod psu the mobo cable would be quite hard to accomplish. I'd really rather not open up the power supply. If I bought some extensions it might look super ugly, since you can see the wires coming from the psu. Anyways, I'd really appreciate some insight. Thanks, Brett

Have you considered building a PSU shroud to cover up the bottom.

Get an EVGA 750G2? They have nice cables and look good, too.

I really like the idea of that! I'll just have to figure out dimensions with the hd cages and to make sure I don't touch the mobo. Are the Silverstone Tek extensions worth a crap?

They are a paracord like material extension, I haven't seen one in person before but I assume they are very similar to if not the same as the bitfenix extension cables

We do have cable sets for your PSU in 12 colors - check here: http://www.performance-pcs.com/brand--cablemodfor the C-Series.

 

Linus checked them out a couple of days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRt-nXIzQlY

 

Our cables are direct cables that plug into your PSU and no extensions.

I'm going to make a shroud and purchase some of those beautifully made custom extensions. I actually stepped up to the 980 and that is pretty much all black. So I thought I'd go white and black with my color scheme.
