Cablemod has a configuration where you can order specific length cables for your PSU. Would need to check out there website to determine if your PSU is supported.

Why does this matter?

because all psus use different proprietary connections into the PSU, so you have to make sure you get the right one for your psu.

 

Like trying to use a iphone charger on a android

what would happen if you mixed cables from different vendors?

absolutely nothing, bare in mind that some cables might not be thick enough to carry the amps, so make sure your 100% certain on the quality before purchasing. Ofcourse it depends on your budget and your psu. Can you tell me the budget so i can search the internet for decent quality ones in aid of you.

They don't fit. The cable have to be build for a seasonic. This does not mean that it have to be build by seasonic.

I believe he means getting one from cablemod and then getting one of amazon. It doesnt matter. But dont try and mix the Corsair and the Seasonic ones as like Pangea said they wont fit, its annoying that there isnt a standard but ofc everything in this day and age has to be difficult.

I personally wouldnt risk that as you run the risk of it not being super well built and shorting out the pins on your psu or mobo and causing a complete and utter disaster.

and how sjhort are we talking because alot of the time its hard to find super short ones because of the cable management space behind most cases

Fractal design Core 500, and my mobo is the ROG STRIX Z270-I

As you can see, the only long cable i need is the cpu one.

 

 

This is not my build, but you can get a sense of how close everything is

This is a option and its around 25gbp so $30.

 

 

what happened to the cables being incompatible between brands?

I would either go with cable mod or just leave them as stock. You might find another product but you're taking your chances.

If you're interested in a product please download and read the manual first.

Don't forget to tag or quote in your reply if you want me to know you've answered or have another question.

I'm doing an ITX build where my motherboard is right next to my PSU.

I want to use shorter cables so there's not as much clutter, where can I go to buy these?

I need...

1x  ATX (20-25cm)

2x  8 pin (10-15cm)

 

I dont care what they look like

 

 

@solarwinggx email Matt@CableMod.com if you have a minute - we can help with that. :)
