Longer modular power supply cables

Go to solution Solved by Decon,

I recently purchased a EVGA Supernova 750W G2 PSU. My 8pin CPU connector is too short to route through the back of the PC case. I've never owned a modular PSU and am unsure how universal modular power supply cables are. I need to get one that is about 4-6 inches longer, in black. Quick search led me to frozencpu.com, but I am unsure how universally compatible these cables are. Helpful input, tips and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Lol. Wow, hadn't even considered an extension cable. Never seen any, so it never crossed my mind. ^__^;

Looks like this will fit the bill.

where do you route the cable?

Currently using that case, but planning getting a Corsair C70 fairly soon. One of the reasons I am switching is this case's lack of cable routing and management options. I just know I'll need a longer cable because I want my PSU on the bottom of the case.

It wont be an issue. My G2 CPU cables are extremely long

the ax1200 has 610mm cpu power cables the g2 has 700mm

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
