3 x 8pin PCIe Cable mod recommendations for 7900XTX + Corsair HX1000i

01001101 · 28 Dec 2022 at 11:19

I've just been browsing the custom PSU cable section on the OCUK webstore and I'm a bit lost at the moment and wondered if anyone could give some advice?

Basically I'm upgrading to a 7900XTX and would like to neaten the 3 x 8pin PCIe cables up a bit.

Can anyone suggest a good brand/type that's compatible with the Corsair HX1000i?

Thanks in advance.

I used cablemod extensions with 24pin cable combs with my MSI SUPRIM X on a corsair rm850x.

I had this in my cart but wasn't sure if it came with 3 x 8pin PCIe so ended up going with these: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/bitf...e-extension-45cm-sleeved-black-cm-35y-bx.html

Sorry - a bit late if you've already got what you need, but there are places that do custom cable harnesses *including* bridged 8+8+8 PCI-E, which is a very nice, tidy solution.

I don't think this counts as a competitor, since all they do is sell custom cables direct.

Take a look at PEXON cables and the "24 Pin PCI-e (8+8+8)"

They also have a Discord channel where you can talk to them directly.

I just realized that the cables I ordered might not be compatible with the Corsair PSU. :rolleyes:

They are just extensions not replacement cables. (you plug them into your existing cables)

Nice one bud. I figured it might have been that but wasn't sure.

I'm tired. :cry:
