Which cable extensions?

[Cleisthenes]

Hi guys, one of the final thigns I need to do to my rig is to get some alchemy cable extensions for my gtx 690, which has 2 8 pin connections. I want them to be red, preferably with black ends. When I look on OcUK however I find these three:

YOUR BASKET
1 x BitFenix Alchemy 8-Pin PCIe Extension 45cm - sleeved red/red £6.98
1 x BitFenix Alchemy 8pin EPS extension 45cm - Red £5.99
1 x BitFenix Alchemy 8-Pin EPS12V Extension 45cm - sleeved black/red/black £4.99
Total : £21.88 (includes shipping : £3.26).




They all have confusingly different names. If they will all work I will get the £5.99 set.

Thanks!

EPS are ATX extensions for a motherboards 8pin ATX connector.

PCI-E is for Graphics Cards with 8Pin whereas EPS is for your CPU power.

Thought I'd pay it down in layman terms

Id personally go with 2 6+2 pins as if you downgrade to a 7950/GTX 670 equivilant in the future (for some mad reason) which only use 6 pins or need 1 6 pin, you won't have to buy new extensions for them

That's a great idea actually. When I buy them I will definitely do that!
