GGPC Gaming PC Braided Extension Cable Kit, (Grey and Black, 40cm) Includes 1 x 20+4 Pin, 2 x 6+2 Pin, 1 x 4+4 Pin Cables

So I bought a set of these hoping to tidy up the PSU Cables in my rig, especially the Dual 6+2 PCI-E Adapters, but what I've essentially found was they're not as neat as you'd hope they'd be, and the manufacturing quality is terrible - to the point that I'm relieved my system still works having had issues with them in, to the point where I thought I'd bricked my GPU.

First complaint - in theory extensions are good, but in practice there's just too much cable to route within your case and so it's actually quite hard to even get the panels on the back again - if you're really keen on the custom braids, I think a kit from CableMod would be th...view more So I bought a set of these hoping to tidy up the PSU Cables in my rig, especially the Dual 6+2 PCI-E Adapters, but what I've essentially found was they're not as neat as you'd hope they'd be, and the manufacturing quality is terrible - to the point that I'm relieved my system still works having had issues with them in, to the point where I thought I'd bricked my GPU.

Second complaint (and the deal breaker for me) - the cable quality. So the actual cables themselves are all good (I think), where I had issues was the connectors and the pins specifically - I found on all 4 of the connectors that when you plugged them into your original PSU cables, the pins wouldn't stay in, and at least one per connector had come out, if not more (3 on one of them). So naturally you'd think click them into place using a pinning tool and you're good to go right? Unfortunately not - even when all the pins were in, I had a POST error saying to plug my GPU Power connections in, and then when the system was buttoned up and running, it randomly dropped power to my GPU causing the screens to go black and have the GPU fans ramp to maximum - not exactly what you want to see. I opened it up again, and couldn't see any visible issues with the cabling, but it seems even moving them would cause connections to drop out, so I definitely don't have any faith in these anymore - the last thing you want to do is short something they're connected to, which is unfortunately all the expensive bits of a computer!

I would definitely exercise caution, and maybe even try another brand - again do you really want to risk a motherboard, CPU or GPU? I don't, so unfortunately pretty will have to wait.

Great looking cable extensions to finish off the look of your PC.
Not direct cables that go into the PSU but extensions that plug into the cables that come with the PSU.
it's an easy way to get a tidy look without having to pay for full cable mods.
Would be nice if it came with combs but still a great buy Great looking cable extensions to finish off the look of your PC.

Great flexible cable Great flexible cable

The cables look great. Easy to connect and a LOT of flexibility! I would recommend and it cleans up small form factor builds very nicely :) The cables look great. Easy to connect and a LOT of flexibility! I would recommend and it cleans up small form factor builds very nicely :)

Purchsed these for a new build and have been very impressed. The build quality is excellent and the connectors are sturdy, and the braided cable material looks great and makes cable management a breeze.

Worked well for extending the cables that were a bit short to manage behind the motherboard works well Worked well for extending the cables that were a bit short to manage behind the motherboard works well

As title says, didn't have any problems using them at all, they bunch together quite nicely without the need for cable combs. As title says, didn't have any problems using them at all, they bunch together quite nicely without the need for cable combs.

Great kit for the price, would be nice if it came with cable combs - had to buy these separately. Great kit for the price, would be nice if it came with cable combs - had to buy these separately.

These made my build look way more aesthetically pleasing, but I would suggest you get some cable combs with them to give it an even cleaner look These made my build look way more aesthetically pleasing, but I would suggest you get some cable combs with them to give it an even cleaner look

The internal connectors do move slightly with position, so you can run into problems if you try to force them at the wrong angle. After I figured this out they were fine.
