Cooler Master V10 Replacement

JAGRocks09 · 26 Jul 2011 at 17:58

Hello

I have bought a new PSU but the ATX connector wont fit under the RAM heatsync on my V10 cooler.

Only solution is to replace it, with something more space efficient.

what would be a good replacement, Silver Arrow?

Thanks in advance

Surely if the connector from your old PSU fitted then the new one will too.

What's so different about the connector on the new PSU?

the difference is the new one has capcitors around the connector meaning that the end cannot flex, I hadn't seen a powersupply with that before so hadn't considered it, when ordering PSU.

the previous one is just cables so is reasonably flexible so it fits.

the New PSU is a OCZ ZX series 1250w

most people swear by the silver arrow or noctua d14 so i would say that they are a safe bet

What are you running that needs a 1250W PSU?

Anyhow, I would think any cooler you want would be OK.

I can't see any other coolers stocked by OcUK that would come anywhere near the power connector assuming it's in the normal place on the edge of the motherboard.

Yeh I have decided to get an extejder for it which will make it more flexibl, as suggested by another forum member. Thanks for the advice I probably will be looking to replace ilver my cooler around BD release anyway as it is just so awkward in many ways, gives them some time to release a black version of silver arrow to fit in with my cosmos pure and crosshair V.

In answer to the PSU wattage question, I honestly don't need anything near that, yet.

I plan on going tri SLI/Crossfire in future and this has the power to do this and I was drawn in by a sale

again I apologise replying via phone

and thank you for the responses

Not only are there capacitors but the wire used in the 24pin and 4+4pin motherboard connectors are thicker than normal for all the ZX series PSU's

Yeh the cables are nice and hefty, I think somewhere before I bought it, it said that they used higher gauge cables then normal but I hadn't considered the need for flexiblity My V10 must be the only situation where thats needed.

The Conectors and cables do seem to be finished to a good quality
