Which Braided Cables ?

ShaggyRS6 · 17 Oct 2012 at 13:44

If I wanted to cable my PC fully with braided cables what do I need and is there a bundle that is sold?

Please see my sig for my spec, I also run 2 HDD and 1 ssd and all this will be in a cosmos 2. I won't be changing the PSU .

There are (on OCUK) 2 or 3 companies that sell braided extensions, so you can keep your PSU and all the original wires, you just hude the PSU wires and leave on shoe the extensions.

You can buy pre-braded cables for every single use, Molex, Sata, fan cables, front panel audio and connector cables etc. usually between £5 and £9 per cable depending on length, make and company.

So your saying I would just need an extension of each type of cable I have ?

Correct

As for which ones to go for, go for the Bitfenix extensions. By far the best quality (Although that's reflected in the prices!)

Thanks chaps

Would you guys know what cables I need from my spec and details above? I will go and take a look tonight but thought I might be able to get a cheeky next day in if you could help.

1x - 24-pin for mobo
1x - 8-pin for CPU
2x - 6-pin for GPU (I have a 6950 also, I'm sure it needs 2x 6-pins?)
4x - SATA PSU (3 for your drives and 1 for DVD drive)
?x - Molex for each fan you have

etc etc.. I'm sure you get the idea now.

You can buy a complete set for your PSU I think. I just did for the ax series PSU.

ShaggyRS6 · 17 Oct 2012 at 15:19

Noice

order coming on!!!! Thanks buddy. What about GFX card power? Any idea what that takes? Also, any idea of the XFI face plate to pci card?

Sorry to be a pain, cables don't seem to be my thing.

Is your corsair PSU modular?

No

Ah - ignore my previous post then. Extensions are your only option.

Graphics card will need either 6 or 8 pin connectors.

ShaggyRS6 · 17 Oct 2012 at 15:33

The Sata PSU ones should I get them separate or the multi one

Remember, 4 pin extension for the P4 connector will also be needed

Id also recomend the BitFenix ones.

I said in my above post mate, you will need 2x 6-pins (PCI-E) for your graphics card.

Bitfenix don't do a SATA female to male extension so Molex to SATA is your only option.
