Hello everyone, I’m doing some box cleaning and I found a bunch of cables which I’ll ask for your help for identification, if you don’t mind 🙃

So, as the title says, how do you call this cable?


Thank you!

    I made full custom cables for my last build then the PSU died. RMAed it and got a replacement that was on generation newer.

    If I hadn’t have learned that cables weren’t standardized while making the first batch, I would have fried everything in my PC.

    I never wound up remaking/rerouting everything so it just looked like shit for the following 2 years. I probably won’t make custom cables again for that reason, though it did look really nice

      Its for this reason i use straight-through extensions when builing my PC. Lets me route cables where/how i want. Then they connect to the psu cables somewhere sensible and hidden. Adds to the cost but makes the whole build (so upgrades/replacement) so much more modular.
      Just have to make sure you get decent ones and not thin core cheap crap.
      I almost did the same as you, and decided to beep out some of tge psu cables as i was waiting for the new PSU to arrive. Immediately bought straight extensions, and havent looked back since!

        I just went with all black this time to skip out on all of it lol

        Pretty much everything is hidden so I used to stock cables
