PSU Cabling problem...

[PandaAttack1]

Hey guys!

I recently bought a Cooler Master Pro M2 1000w power supply, but I have ran into a little problem...

The power supply has modular slots for 3 x 6pin cables.

The supplied cables are all 6pin male (to psu) to 8pin + 6pin males. (to gpu)

I have 2 x 680 GPUs that both use 2 x 6pin connectors.

I want a solution that will be the most pleasing to the eye, what do you guys think I should do?

I though about getting custom extensions, that start with a 6 pin male and ends with one, but the one on the end pig tails into another 6 pin male.

The other option is to cut the one 8pin connector into a 6pin like the picture I have below:

I have custom sleeved cables in my PC and it was absolutely worth it. It's so pleasing to the eye.

The guys that can do it here (In south africa), said it is going to be difficult to sleeve the cables and pig tail them. Apparently 2 x cables and sleeving wont fit in a connector.

I would grab two cheap 6+2 extensions, pull the wires and replace the GPU side connectors. Then hide the +2's in the back.

You beast! I will do this! Can I pull those molex pins without the proper tools?

Shouldn't be a problem, I think I used some tweezers and a knife. Just squeeze the little clip things and extract, then expand them before inserting into the new connector.

Hey guys! 

I managed to get other connectors on my modular cables, I think it came out pretty sweet!

I now have 2 cables that are 6+2 pigtailed to 6+2 and 1 cable that still has the 8pin and a pigtail 6 pin! Im still wondering why Cooler Master didn't just make them like this from the get go...
