What custom cables do I need??

[tollt004]

I am looking to buy a new computer and would like to get some custom cables to improve the aesthetics of the build, but don't know which cables to get as i have never ordered any before.

 

PC specs:

• Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
• Corsair H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
• Asus ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
• Corsair Vengeance LED 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
• Asus GeForce GTX 1080 8GB STRIX Video Card
• Corsair RM 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
• I also have 1x HDD and 1x SSD 
• As well as a CD drive

you need either extensions which are cheaper or a full set of cables that are compatible with corsair RM PSU's... google search should sort you (cable mod or similar)

i would rather get a full set of cables, i have also looked at the sets that are on sites like cable mod, but it has other cable that i wouldn't need in them, as well as being expensive.

If your going for a full set, it will have every cable that came with the psu but sleeved.. the extensions are good if you can manage all the excess behind the tray or in drive-bay or whatever and are on a budget. Also has the added benefit of fitting any standard PSU.

 

Your shout. Google is your friend for finding alternate sources.

You can get the basic kits as they will have the main cables you will see in the system without some of the extras:

Would anyone happen to know what power connectors the GTX 1080's use?

They use regular PCI-E, it depends on what GPU you have as most have a single 8 pin PCI-E while some aftermarket ones have more.

I was planning on getting an Asus Strix 1080

PCI-E 8 pin as far as I know. maybe 6 +8, depending on model.

Looks like it uses a 6pin and a 8pin power connectors:

would i get 2 separate 6 and 8 pin cables or  one cable with separate connectors?

You can either have it daisy chained or two separate cables, as the card itself isn't super power hungry.

Ensourced.net you can get custom made cables and at v1tech or mainframe customs you can get extentions
