PSU with long cables

daniel101191 · 14 May 2010 at 22:59

Hi there, got a new case (stacker 831) and its huge, my OCZ 500w stealth is a little on the short side for what I want to do. Is there a powersupply out there that is around 500w and has long cables?

Thanks

Which cables are too short? Its possible to buy extensions, such as 24 pin atx, 4/8 pin cpu even pcie cables, theese can be bought pre braided which helps to make things look better as well.

the graphics PCI one, motherboard, and some satas and molex's I might look into that, a lot cheaper than buying a new 1

Certainly will be mate, im also using a full tower, (lian li a70f) had to get an 8 pin extension for my corsair hx 850 psu, decided to also get a 24 pin pre braided extension, a lot better looking than the standard corsair job.

I would go for some cable extensions as it is the cheaper option. I'm not sure if there will be a massive difference in cable size between brands.

Cable length does vary significantly from brand to brand, also consider that a well placed hole in the motherboard tray (suitably trimmed in rubber to avoid wear on the cables) may be even cheaper and make cable management even simpler.
