Looks good. Only thing that puts me off slightly is the black shrink-wrap on the ends, although I heard from Bitfenix that the white stuff tends to discolour as it ages.

They are designed to completely replace the modular cables, they are not extensions. I suspect it is because different ranges have differing amounts of connectors/cables as standard, so these would be a like-for-like swap out and that is the reason for the compatibility restrictions. That or the sockets are slightly different on some of the new ones like the AX series.

Not all use the same shapes patterns on the male connectors to the PSU, and the voltage/-ve/+ve/ground pins might be arranged differently which is why you can't use them on any other PSU's.

Maybe the standard ATX, EPS12V and PCI-E cables but they might not fit due to the shape on each square section.
 
Not bad littlepuppy, but I think the cables have a bit too much of a 'highlighted' look to them now.

They're just very bright :p
 
I recently purchased a red set for my AX850, and unfortunately I have bad news to report.

They look great, but during install of the main 24 pin power cable,one of the wires stripped out of the connector completely. I don't even know what happened to the pin that was supposed to be attached to the end of the wire!!!!

So I do feel that the quality of these cables is dubious to say the least - not up to the expected quality from Corsair. Luckily I happened to have some new pins in my stock of bits, and was able to repair the cable. I am however very dissapointed that this even happened.

Before anybody suggests I mistreated the cable or roughly handled them - I can assure you this is not the case at all - I take great care and time over things when working on my Pc. I will e mail corsair about this and see what they say. In the meantime - go careful with those cables, as they can be rather flimsy !!!!

Update: Have received an RMA from corsair for the troublesom cable - problem is that I have to send it back to Holland at my expense and wait for a replacement.No acknowledgement from corsair
that they will look into the quality issues. I think the response is not quite up to what it should be - they should just send me a replacement, because now I have hassle with packing/posting and waiting.
Oh well I suppose they are at least going to replace it.
