Braided PSU Cables

[YouWhat]

Am I correct in assuming that the Corsair modular PSU cables are all the same that plug into the PSU?

I have a RM850, and looking for braided cables, and found this

Would the ax1200 PSU modular cables fit the RM series?

 

[maniac]

iirc, no they wouldnt

If I remember, all the 1200's like the 1200, and the i, both have there own set. The AXI, and RM are interchangeable though.

For the RM850 you'll need this kit:
http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/profes...leeved-dc-cable-kit-type-3-generation-2-black
SKU (should help you find it in webshops): CP-8920045

You'll also need to buy the 24 Pin seperately as it isn't compatible with the same units as the rest of the kit is:

SKU: CP-8920053


Edit; Looked up the SKUs for you at Specialtech (use Search option). You'll want to buy these:

Might have a go at braiding them myself as it will be cheaper and it easy enough to do, only need to do 2 PCI-E cables and the main ATX 24 pin cable as the others won't be seen inside the case.

At moment they are just made to look tidy by some zip ties (my favorite things, I go through so many of these )

Worst comes to it, will just buy the ready braided cables, so as I see it, not really got anything to loose by trying

Have you considered extensions? Bitfenix has a few nice ones

 

[Edge]

As Feronix said, why not just get extensions? Cheaper, and you can just tag them onto your current cables, tie the original cables out of sight and leave the fancy braided extensions out

For the price of the Corsair cables, their good, but for like £20 more you can get them custom made from Pexon, I have the RM850, and bought, the 24 pin 4 x 6 pin and 2 8 pin eps, for £100. Granted you don't get the Sata, or Molex, but he does them too, for a few quid more.

I'd much rather have a set made in my choice of colours. He does great work, here is the set he made for me.

After having a look on his site he seems cheaper now.
