PSU cable extensions

[NirK]

Hi,

I have a Seasonic prime gold 850w, which has 750mm PCI-E 18AWG cables, and 610mm 18AWG 24 pin cable.

I ordered Phanteks extension bundle which are 500mm 18AWG cable.

So in total that is 1250mm for PCI-E cables and 1100mm for 24 pin cable.

Is this cable length ok with the extensions? It is quite long in total.

Thanks

Thanks for reply, hm I read some bad reviews of the phanteks ones on another website, I think I will go with the cablemods instead.

Mine are Phanteks and the quality is excellent. The kits even come with cablecombs.

Mm not sure why on another retailers website, there are about 5 reviews saying that the cables damaged their system, or crashed system then they removed the extension cables and their PC was ok. After reading that it has now made me worried about them + they are too long, so I ordered some other ones, maybe those problems are rare I don't know, but still bit worrying, I think it could be because they are too long and causing voltage drops or something I don't know. Maybe a bad batch as the negative reviews are all around the same time which was december.
