Corsair RM Series RM 850 cables

jrmanders · 28 Dec 2013 at 19:46

Hi everyone, I have just installed a Corsair RM Series RM 850 PSU into my case and hate the supplied cable set.

Could anyone please recommend an alternative cable set, one that is quite flexible.

Thanks.

Get some Bitfenix ones if it is for the 540 case.

bitfenix ones are just extensions

Yeah i know but in that particular case you only see the motherboard 24 pin and 8 pin cables and the gpu cables.

Also those corsair ones may not fit the rm series. I have a blue set here for a hx unit and they don't fit other corsair psu's.

Ahh, fair enough. Though id still reccomend the bitfenix extension cables. I found them to be a lot more flexible than even the corsair cables.

Thanks OverKill that's what I should have done, thanks for checking if the Corsair kits were compatible. Those green ones should do the trick.

The 24 pin motherboard cable isn't included in that kit according to Corsair website. Not sure if OCUK sell it separate or not.

Ok Lee thanks will check. You would have thought so at that price for the kit.

If you look at this Corsair Link it seems that the AXi Series cable fits the RM series

Here is the cable on OCUK at £14.99 :eek:

Good info lads

I despise the cables on my RM850 too... Especially the PCIE's :mad:

jrmanders · 28 Dec 2013 at 23:29

Glad someone else agrees, yes the PCIE cables are particularly horrid.

Thanks chaps for your help as usual.
