Thinking about buying a cable kit

[marcus2704]

As neat as my PC is, I know that the mass of cables stuffed into the PSU recess are far from neat and I was thinking about buying a cable kit for my H440 white/black themed build.

Bitfenix do a decent looking kit here - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/bitfenix-alchemy-2.0-psu-cable-kit-csr-series-white-cm-249-bx.html - however my Titan has a 8 pin and 6 pin power connection, from what I can tell that kit has 2 x 7 pin PCIE cables. I expect this would mean that the extra 2 pins would just hang off the side, given the price I am prepared to spend to get a tidy build this to me is a slight issue. Can anyone advise if thats the case with this kit, or if there is an alternate?

assuming you meant it has 2 x 8 pin PCIE cables and not 2 x 7.. then it would either be a 8pin cable or a 6+2..

This is taken from the bitfenix website
CSR-Series
Cable Type Cable Length
10+14Pin to 24Pin (x1) 650mm
10+18Pin to 24Pin (x1) 650mm
8Pin to CPU 4+4Pin (x2) 650mm
8Pin to PCI-E 6+2Pin (x4) 650mm
8Pin to Dual PCI-E 6+2Pin (x2) 650mm + 150mm
6Pin to SATA x 2 (x2) 450mm + 150mm
6Pin to SATA x 4 (x2) 450mm + 150mm + 150mm + 150mm
6Pin to Molex x 2 (x2) 450mm + 150mm
6Pin to Molex x 3 (x1) 450mm + 150mm + 150mm
Molex to Flopply 4Pin extend cable (x1) 100mm

so you would have to use the 8pin to dual 6+2 which would mean you have the extra 2 hanging over

what i suggest is just cable tie them together just to tidy it up a bit.. or if your feeling brave you could remove the extra 2, plenty of guides online for removing the pins etc

Thanks, its odd that they don't provide a 8-pin to 6-pin cable, its not exactly uncommon on cards is it :/

Just unplug the extra 2 pin at the PSU plug end looks tider.

another thing you could do is just use a 6pin to 6pin extension for that one and hide the rest of the wire

something like this
