Custom Power Supply cable help.

[ryji]

So i'm building my first PC and I want to get a few custom power supply cables, I have my 24 Pin ATX cable figured out but other than that I have no knowledge about the cables. To make this as short as possible I would like in addition to the 24 Pin ATX cable, a custom CPU connector cable and a GPU connector cable, the problem is that I have no idea what the actual cables names mean, in addition have no clue what 8 pin EPS vs 8 pin PCI-E means. (I think it's the GPU connector??) Thank you!!!

The power supply already comes with all the cables you need. You don't need any other cables besides what comes with the PSU. Every power supply modular or not will come with:

24pin main power for motherboard
8 pin power for CPU
6+2 or 8 pin power for graphics cards
15pin SATA power for drives

In short, your motherboard has two power connectors on it. The big rectangle, with 24 pins, and the small 8 pin style. The manual refers to it as the EATX 12V. Some power supplies provide a cable which has two 4 pin connectors on the end, if your motherboard uses a 4 pin then you connect one. In your case you'd connect both, making it an 8 pin.

Your videocard requires the pci-express pin, either a 6 pin or 8 pin. Power supplies usually provide a 6+2 pin cable, so you plug in just the 6 pin connector if that's what your card needs, or plug in the 6 and the 2 pin if your card needs an 8 pin. Your videocard will require two 8 pin connectors. So you'll need two of those cables.

It really depends on what you want in a custom cable. If you're just looking for colors, you can go with something directly from EVGA

There are also a host of other custom cables out there either designed to completely replace your stock cables or are extensions to the stock cables.

As for what they mean, this site has a good break down

The main one that most people get confused with is the EPS cable. Some boards use a 4 pin, some use an 8 pin. There are dual 8 pin out there but don't worry about it, your motherboard doesn't need two and your PSU doesn't provide two. Your motherboard uses an 8 pin EPS.

Your PSU will provide the cables you need for your build so at the very least you're fine there. If you want to customize it, first make sure you know what cables your build will actually use (few build will use all the cables) and then search from there. No sense buying a full kit if you only need and EPS, 24 pin, 6+2 pin, and a SATA cable unless you know you'll be expanding in the future.
