Custom PSU Cables
Well, after seeing my selection of cables for the AX1200, I have decided that it would be best (cable management wise) to make my own custom length and connection cables.
The only problem I can think of is that I plan to run the Corsair AX1200i. I saw in a video that the AX1200i calculates efficiency and voltage drop and all that by using the load and length of the cable. However, if I were to make my own cables, which are a different length, will it throw that off?
I know that modding the cables is probably frowned upon here, but I have no better option available...

I am sorry as we do not have any information on that question but I don't believe it will unless the lengths are more than what is allowed by the ATX Spec. 24-28" in length. However I will ask our Engineering to verify this for you.

How do the rules work with extension cables then?

The specification does not allow for extensions of the cables only Maximum lengths.

So, would using extension cables with the AX1200i mess it up then? Because I need an extension on my 4 pin EPS as it is, among other adapters I need.

I am sorry as I stated I do not have the answer for that question and have asked our Engineering, we will have to wait for them to replay.

I'm just hoping my Corsair White AX1200 Gold cables work with the new 1200i :) That'd be $100 saved and a happy customer!

I am sorry but they ( Cables for 1200AX and AX1200i ) are not compatible.

Just because the ends are physically the same doesn't mean the ports are electrically the same.

The connectors may look the same but i'm sure it boils down to inside circuitry or different orientation of the pin-outs
LOL, wired , we posted the same thing at the same time.

So, how long after the launch of the AX1200i will the sleeved cable sets be available?

And one more question. Will there ever be lower wattage versions of the AX1200i? I have a machine that runs 24/7, and monitoring it's usage and efficiency and all that would be nice... but 1200 watts is just extreme overkill...

Unfortunately they never talk about upcoming products until they are ready to be released. You may have to wait an see.

.... then will the new ax1200i be compatible with corsairs individually sleeved psu cables? there is currently no reason to believe otherwise when consumers order them.
