That is awesome. Blue FTW!
Corsair Release Individually Sleeved Modular Cables
- Thread starter ionicle
- Start date
Indeed they are pricey. Before these I bought NZXT extension cables and they cost less but only because I bought the PCIe, 24-pin and 8-Pin cables. I didn't get the SATA / Molex etc. But I think if I had done so it would have been about £130. £40 more than Corsairs kit.
I've compared the quality of the Corsair to the NZXT and they look the same to me. The heatshrink is just as good and while the braid used is different they both look good. The NZXT was a bit harder to shape and flex but I'd not really consider that a negative.
One thing is for sure though the AX1200 I have has a 7 year warranty and if it ever dies I'm just going to get a replacement so I think these cables will last me through to 2016 at-least. With that in mind I think I'll get my moneys worth out of them as I would have done with an extension kit that I could move from PSU to PSU. In short I think they are pricey but worth it if you want to go the extra mile on your rigs looks. These are purely a vanity addition.

also red ones

Lol, they do look fantastic though and will mean less clutter in your rig.
A good effort but rather expensive. Would prefer less heatshrink showing, too. I sleeved my psu, gpu, sata, case fan and fan controller cables with MDPC sleeve and it totalled around the same price. Still, I had to do it myself but at least I wasn't limited to all one colour on a connector. Do it yourself folks, no voiding of warranties either, unless you open the psu.
I looked and looked and couldn't find anyone selling them. I even tried Google shopping which must have indexed over 100 sites in Europe and had no luck. Keep in mind though if you do order direct from Corsair they will be dispatched from the Netherlands so you won't need to pay import VAT on them.

Specialtech now have these in - http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/search.php?substring=gold+ax850
Special Tech seems to be the place to go for most of your custom cooling/cables needs(not from personal experience...YET, but from looking at their site). I recently found this site as I was looking for a sleeved modular cables for my AX750. Very quick delivery too, so I will be keeping them bookmarked for future purchases.

Nice cables but not everyone wants/needs all of the cables and most of them you will never use.
Sell them individually Corsair, then we will talk
Totally agree!

^ didint realise you couldnt buy them individually and 52.50£ seems a bit steep
