Corsair releases a whole line of individually sleeved cables!!!

PCBudgetComponent

Well they've actually had individually sleeved cables for a very long time but they have upgraded on their previous individually sleeved cables to much higher quality.

Whats the reason for getting these? Clean look? Over clocking?

Please be aware, as I have a bunch of these, there are different models. There are one type of older sleeved ones that were for the AX750/850 units and one for the AX1200 units. The new ones are for a bunch of series including AXi PSU's and some other models. CHECK the compatible PSU listing before buying. They are NOT interchangeable as the keying (portion that plugs into the PSU) is different among models, as is the pin out. Owning a few sets of these, I can say they are excellent quality.

BTW - these are also NOT compatible with other make/models of PSU.

Ya, the new sets are very expensive. I paid $40 for the old set that did include a 24pin cable as well, so were worth it for matching a build - and saved me the hassles of doing it myself. :)

holy monkey they are expensive....

I think I would rather buy individually sleeved cable extensions from NZXT or Bitfenix instead.

ive done my own and spent less.. tbh, depending on what your rig is needing and

what you are capable of giving it is what stands the "expense". your time is worth

something and 12hrs to sleeve your cables is very conservative. so for $6 per hour

and $40 for supplies.. the corsairs are looking very enticing. if its a custom look, then

to pay someone else more that $6 per hour and supplies vs doing it yourself..

extensions are great, but more cable management is needed because to the extra

slack that's keeping to panel from closing properly.

I dont see them being that expensive. I mean, somebody who buys these cables is going to be the person who doesnt care about the price, because lets face it... they are buying this purely for looks. I am going to be purchasing a set soon, for this exact reason. I want the nice cables, but i dont want to have to do the work. Simple as that.

As a side note.... It looks as though the NEW blue matches that awful Asus colorscheme that can never be matched. *on purpose maybe?*

and if anyone has a G1 Sniper, the green would look AMAZING!

I would say do it yourself and save a lot of money and in most case get a lot better sleeving job. Also if you don't know how to sleeve just check out Lurto0 Customs sleeving tutorials on Youtube @ [url=http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT7p3y4df3uwYYZI7bcdJAA]http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT7p3y4df3uwYYZI7bcdJAA[/url=http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT7p3y4df3uwYYZI7bcdJAA]. Also It only cost around $40 to do your own rig and you can get the color and pattern scheme the way you wan't. And if you need a resource to buy sleeving, Amazon, MDPC, and Lutro0 Customs are all great places to buy from. Just so you guys can see what I'm talking about [url=http://www.overclock.net/g/a/30521/lutro0-customs-sleeving-gallery/]http://www.overclock.net/g/a/30521/lutro0-customs-sleeving-gallery/[/url=http://www.overclock.net/g/a/30521/lutro0-customs-sleeving-gallery/]. I say this not to bash corsair's cables but from someone who likes a pretty computer who isn't afraid to do it myself.
