Best PSU for 1-to-1 wiring?

Cenedd · 10 Feb 2022 at 09:09

I've got a build on the go that I'm going to need to make up very flexible wiring for. In my head I want a fully modular PSU of around 650W that has a 24-pin ATX connector on it so I can make a cable that is one-to-one with single (sleeved) wires and a 24-pin ATX connector on each end. Does such a thing exist? Is there something close where the sense wires are optional?
Many thanks in advance.

BTW, closest I've found so far is Silverstone: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/silv...old-fully-modular-power-supply-ca-44x-sv.html

That's overpriced for starting level 5 year warranty.
Little more doubles the warranty, besides using higher quality components.

And all good PSUs use sense wires for improving voltage regulation by being able to measure voltage losses in wiring.

Cheers @EsaT . It's been explained to me that sense wires should be far less of a problem than I had in my head. I did look at SuperFlower as my go-to but they're out of stock everywhere. In the end I went with the Silverstone - overpriced it may be but I think the more straight-forward wiring layout should avoid some issues with wiring cross-overs etc.
