White PSU cables for new build.

[Garyj881]

Recently bought new components for a build. With them being white a friend suggested getting a new white case and doing a fully white build.

So here I am, I ordered the Havn HS 420 vgpu white Wednesday, so should arrive tomorrow.

I also ordered some white Lian-li 140mm wireless fans.

My PSU is black along with the cables, so for an all white clean look, I need white PSU cables. I'm not sure what is safe and what isn't TBH. My PSU is a NZXT C1200.

My gfx card is a Sapphire 9070XT with the 2 x 8 pin power connectors.

I've seen Cablemod and Asiahorse to name a few.

What is proven to be good quality with no issues and looks the part too?

I'm not aware of any widespread cable issues with popular brands, so I wouldn't expect a problem if you stick to those. It was just the 16-pin cables/adapters that were burning.

Cable extension will be cheaper in the end the shop sells plenty inc cable mod.

Cable extensions are the way to go, and cheap ones at that. Once your north of £30 your basically in big chunk off a new PSU pricing.

A Cablemod full cable kit for the NZXT C series costs almost as much as replacing the PSU with a new white £150 unit and has to be made to order.
A Cablemod extension kit is £50. That is pretty big chunk off of a new PSU price and feels poor value when some full Cablemod classic kits such as a white RT series for Seasonic costs £58.23 shipped from the company direct and the Pro kit is £70.

Though bear in mind the 12vPWHR kits are more expensive, with full kits at £99 yet seem to have less PCIe cables and from memory need another 8 pin motherboard cable often ending up around £130 or so if you want a full range of cables for any eventuality.

Sadly I absolutely HATE the cables that come with NZXT more than I hate the Seasonic cables, one of the builds here has an NZXT C series black PSU, it was transferred into a white NZXT H6 build, and we just used Kolink white/black cable extensions which were as good as Phanteks extensions in one of the other builds, I would avoid Thermaltake £35 extensions due to how stiff they are these are, ended up removing them.

Instead of going with the Cablemod full kits on some of the builds here, I went with extensions, and am considering going with a back connect build in future, the H6 and H9 flow cases make the motherboard 24pin cables far more prominent than I like.
