Can somebody recommend a PSU that comes with braided cables as standard or do I need to buy after market ones ? psu required to power a 970 GPU card. ta Poot
At moment As rock 890 mono Amd 960 cpu 1tb WD hdd 970 nvidia The gpu at moment is a 550ti but I need a new psu as lost a cable that would allow the 970 to go in the system
It's a Jeantech 500w but I am missing a cable to get the 970 working. So basically I am going to flip over to a Intel system. So gradually improve the components.
Good plan. Why not go for a solid make 500w modular PSU like this one:- Flat black cables, Seasonic which make rock solid PSU's and more than enough power for the system you have mentioned plus free delivery from Amazon:- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...inkCode=xm2&camp=1634&creativeASIN=B00HG2R3FU What's your budget BTW?
Hadn't really put an exact figure. Just wanted a source that was future proof for few years and had braided cables for management looks reasons.
Not read any reviews but the Bit-Fenix PSUs come braided... http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/power-supplies/fury/ I use their Alchemy Extension cables which are excellent.
BitFenix have the best sleeving I've seen from a mainstream manufacturer, good quality and robust. I normally sleeve my own stuff but I have used their cables in the past. By the way, this is a braided cable: The sleeve on it is braided.
I'd seen these and would really like to use them. Ideally, a PSU which you can plug these cables directly into. The Seasonic M12 that supermuchurios recommended (like most of the modular PSUs I've seen & worked with) looks like it has proprietary connectors for its cables. Does anyone know of a solid PSU which has connectors suitable for the Bitfenix extension cables?
No PSU will allow the use of extension cables plugged directly into it, they all have male connectors at that end.
If you're prepared to pay the cost you could buy a modular PSU of your choice and then get someone to make up a set of sleeved cables for it. That way you get your choice of colours and materials. It won't be cheap for a quality job though.
