    Just bought a 2500 Barton, NF7-S, and a couple of sticks of Kingston Hyperx. Slapped them into a computer, and discovered that the PSU ATX cables are too short. :wallbash:

    I've been able to find an extension to the ATXPWR1 at kustompcs.co.uk, but the 4 pin ATX12V extension I'm having trouble finding.

    So any advice as to where I could obtain this elusive - and very sneeky - extension would be much appreciated. :)

    It's a 550w qtech I believe, no way to route since the ATX connections on the NF7-S are at the middle left of the board. Cables are just too damned short!

    Oh and the fact I have a whooping great zalman 7000a-cu in the way doesn't help, but I don't think the cables would have been long enough even if I had picked a more reasonably sized HSF.

    that cpu and m/b combo is the overclockers chioce atm, if you are intending to clock, get a better quality psu. all of the enermax/antec/golbalwin psu's tend to have long cables, and a 420w from a decent brand will be far better that the qtec.
