Did you need to buy PSU extension cables?

Because of asstetics not because they are not long enough, also @Aberfala said you don't in his build.

Well I’d like them to look nice anyway. I’ve bought a set for £20.24 ex VAT which includes 1x 24pin ATX, 2x 4+4 pin EPS & 3x 6+2 pin PCI-E.

That includes delivery and a 10% discount. My current motherboard only uses 1x 4+4 pin EPS and GPU 2x 6+2 pin PCI-E.

I could have bought a similar set for £19.90 ex VAT which includes 1x 24pin ATX, 1x 4+4 pin EPS, 2x 6+2 pin PCI-E & 2x 6 pin PCI-E but I don’t need 6 pin PCI-E cables and prefer the extra EPS cable and extra 6+2 pin PCI-E.

They are 16AWG as well.

Using a Corsair AX1600i and i had too get replacement cables for my gpu as the supplied ones are too short to run down the back of the motherboard tray & out of the lower grommet and loop under the gpu. Bought longer replacement cables instead of using extension cables in the end.

Yeah I searched google and found some accounts of people who had problems with their PCIE cable lengths in this case.

Can anyone tell how to put this grommet back?

Got it all installed now...

Cable management not the best but still getting decent temperatures while gaming. Mostly low 50s and used to see over mid 60s to 70s in old case, topped out at 80C.

No. But I did find that the custom PSU cable wasn't long enough to route the way I wanted. THat's on mer because I specified the length for my old case.

I didn't need to use the 24 pin extension or 8 pin EPS, but did need to use two 8 pin PCIe extension cables as they didn't quite reach. Wasn't much in it but unable to plug them in.

Well I've sorted out the cable management a bit better, no change to temps but looks neater...
