What size cable combs do I need for these cables?

Hi guys,

I'm getting a set of these cables and not sure what size cable combs I need?

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/super-flower-sleeve-cable-kit-pro-white-ca-05h-sf.html

OCUK seem to sell 3mm & 4mm and/or should I get something else?

Thanks

the really cheap cables use 3mm as the cable core is is lower quality, i would think super flower cables that are 2kw rated will be 4mm.
you will also want some white cotton to tie the cables in

Just be very carefully as they are quite brittle .

The best cable combs I’ve ever come across are by cold zero.

Just a bit of an update, bought the 3mm combs and they are too big, the cables and sleeving in this set are quite thin, so they'd need the 2mm combs, which sadly OCUK don't sell

@P4Clock

Hmmm the cheap cables use 3mm?

I got some bitfenix cables for my RM100i are you saying the bitfenix cables are cheap?
from what I have read the bitfenix cables are 3mm or would reqiure the 3mm cable combs.
I hope so as I just got a load LOL

you need to find out the cable rating, the bitfenix cables could be fin wall or use a finer braiding. but in general the better the cable the thicker it is.
the standard cables with a 1kw+ PSU will need a larger cable comb as the cable is bigger.

as long as you distribute the load you will be fine eg. dont daisy-chain 3 ssd's and 5 HDD's of one molex line

Thanks for replying.

If they sell them compatible with the rm1000i they got to be thick enough?.

Shall grab link to the ones I got when I'm on me sons pc.

So so sorry for hijacking thread
