Was just curious if I could go from PSU to GPU, Motherboard etc with ONLY Bitfenix cable extensions plugged in going to the component? Or do I need to use their "base cables" first, THEN add on which is thick and ugly in my opinion (Corsair AX760)

I know they're called extensions, But It must be possible from the PSU straight right..?
 
Very unlikely as different PSU have different connections at the PSU end.

As an example is the Superflower Leadex which uses a type of connector I haven't seen before,

Corsair do cable sets for the AX in a range of colours that go from the PSU body to the component directly,

The ax series does have a braided cable kit, it is a pretty penny, but I have the brqided cables and they are rather nice.

The ax series does follow the same patten at both ends, so the extensions would work straight from the PSU if one end wasnt female. Connectors need to be male to male. I'm sure you could modify the ends of the extenders to make them male to male, but my only concern is that they aren't very long. So you probably couldn't tuck them around too easily.
 
That's exactly what I am looking for, is there a Motherboard one there? I could not see it.

Thank you.

Edit: Getting the Carbide Air 540 soon, plenty of room for cables :) I have a Motherboard and 2 PCIe extensions from Bitfenix on here, should be able to hook them up?

Thanks again all, I am going with a black/blue rig currently, that Mobo cable looks great.
