question on power cables extensions

[AlessandoZ]

Hello everyone,
I'd like to know if the extension of the power supply cables could cause any problem in any area (performace etc.) or if they are completely safe and advisable.
Thanks a lot in advance for the answers.

Strongly recommended against.  The added wire length creates resistance which creates voltage drop and the pins are the weakest point with limited current support with each additional set of pins.

 

Are you wanting extensions because you need longer cables or because you like the way they look?

 

What PSU are you using?

Buy a whole cable set then instead of jury-rigging, half-assing your build with extensions you don't need.

 

Example:

FYI:  G2 and G3 are the same pinout.  So if you see cables made for G2, they'll work for G3 as well.
