OMG! There like cables, but sleeved!

Why isn't this trending on twitter?

:rolleyes:

Maybe because by time they started to tweet about it they finished making them. Like hell even if you wanted them all split up these don't even look good lmao.

The wire actually reminds me of some old shit back in the day which was many many moons ago and still looks ugly.

Would a nVidia fan actually plug red cables in to their lovely green team cards ?.

yea and whats your point? has no effect looks the same as if all cables were sleeved doesnt void my PSU's warranty lol

using a 24 Pin ATX, 8 Pin EPS, and had 4 6pin PCIe along side 2 fan extensions and 1 audio extension all sleeved sexy and ready to go, i cant complain did what i needed it to do

besides all this does is take 2 6 pins and makes and 8 pin whoop de do lulz :roll:

Point? um well if you want a custom look right out of your psu, then extensions really don't give you that.

Yep, and I have to admit, I fell in that category when I was still in college. I even went so far as to have a custom acrylic clear case made. The case now sits in my basement empty(anyone want it?!). Now none of my machines even have a window in them, I even took the window side panel out of my main machine and replaced it with a standard side panel. I just grew out of it I guess, and prefer a nice classy case.

Now at the same time I have to say a nice cable management job like MeanBruce posted is still to my liking, that does look classy, and I'd probably have a window in the case to show that off.

I still prefer monolithic black look.

TRUE but my PSU isnt visible in my case, so yea... only time cables are visible is when connecting to the motherboard etc, thus extensions = fine, if i had a smaller simpler case then maybe but even then i wouldnt void my PSU warranty,

had a corsair HX 850 fail and kill 2 6970s and 3 HDDs, if i had custom sleeved cables Corsair wouldnt have been so understanding lulz, ill stick to extensions personally.

eitherway a sleeved 2x 6pin to 8 pin is nothing to get excited about.

nice but if the cables look short, with short cable it less help for modder,
try about 30cm so we could hide it behind the tray

So, you use two of your PSU six-pin PCI-E connectors to supply an eight-pin (or 6+2) on the card?

And if your card needs an eight-pin (or 6+2) plus a six-pin, then you need another 'adapter' from a third PSU six-pin PCI-E connector on your PSU to match the looks of the eight-pin?

Seems like a waste.

I would not pay for that. If I needed it, I would make it myself.
