How to tidy up GPU power cables

[Harbz]

I had a nice looking case with my nvidia 1030 stop-gap card while I waited for a decent gpu.

Now got myself a 6700xt from the deal here on Monday. The Corsair pci-e power cable looks a mess.

Any advice please on how I can tidy this up?



Thanks

Get something like this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/bitfenix-alchemy-6pin-pci-e-extension-45cm-white-cm-014-bx.html

Unfortunately, OCUK only have 6 pin ones available in white.

Also you shouldn't really be running the GPU off of one cable, it can lead to problems. Get two seperate cables and hook them up to the GPU.

Are you looking for an 8 pin pci-e extension cable too? The ones i linked to are only 6 pin cables which looks like you may need one of. Get the same make as the whites might be slightly different if they are from 2 different manufacturers.

Yep, I need a 8pin and a 6pin. I will need to wait for the 8pins to come back into stock before ordering. Or go for a different colour. Thanks for your help.

I have read this before about one cable but it seems to divide opinion

but I have also been reading about cable extensions causing problems

mmm might go to two and the adaptors do look nice

Get some 180 degree power connectors to plug in the GPU. Then the cables will run neatly down the GPU.
