My computer is on its way. I wanted to put custom sleeved cables in the case. Not sure what cables I need. I've never ordered or worked with custom sleeving / parts before. Just want to make sure I don't screw up my order.

I figured, since my NZXT hides cables really well, I just needed to get some extensions. Which I'm assuming means, connects to your existing cables and extends them? So I can use what I have with my PSU, and just expose the sleeved cables.

I 'think' i need (Looking here: Ensourced)
White Paracord Sleeved Extensions
8 Pin PCI-e Extension x 2 (Curve Orientation: clip inside? <= not sure what this means...)

  • ■ 2 for GPU
24 Pin Motherboard Extension x 1 (Curve Orientation: clip inside? <= not sure what this means...)

  • ■ 1 for Motherboard
8 Pin CPU|EPS Extension x 1 (Curve Orientation: clip inside? <= not sure what this means...)

  • ■ 1 for Motherboard
4 Pin Molex to Sata Power x 2 (Do I need SATA? Molex to SATA?)

  • ■ 2. 1 for each SSD. (I have 2)

Greetings!

You are correct that an extension cable is exactly as it sounds. As for getting your order right, I would wait until you get the pc to really make sure of the exact extensions you need cable for cable. Also, Ensourced has some great looking cable options! Here is another place to look and they allow wire for wire customization and online configuration: https://store.cablemod.com/#.

Hope this helps!
