As title says, whats AWG wire size is used for the Corsair SF720 PSU? (ATX, EPS, SATA basically all)

I'm thinking of making my own cables for this PSU as the cables supplied are too long.

Also if i remember this PSU contains a Sensor cable. Is that really needed?
 
cool thanks for this.. and how about the sensor wire? I heard some models require that cable in order to function properly, while others don't... and also depends on whether you are making cable extensions (to which a sensor wire is not required), whereas if you were to make direct cables, you do
 
Curious, does the EPS/ATX/PCIe cables have to be 16awg? Would there be complications if i used 18awg for these cable sets? and if so, what complications would they be? From what i've heard, they are practically identical, just the 16awg is thicker and harder to bend than the 18. Anything else i need to be cautious of?
 
I emailed a company (which according to them cables the 8pack systems at OCUK) regarding AWG sizes and what's best recommended for Corsair PSU. They said 18awg is fine and have cabled PSU handling more than 2kw of power. Kinda saves me some money as i had cabled a few using 18awg and just wasn't sure if i had to purchase more silicon wire at 16awg as i thought i bought the incorrect wire
