AX1200i: additional longer Molex cables for better cable-management

[tyrannosaurus]

Hi guys,

 

now I'm in the exhausting part of my new C70 built called cable-management :sigh!:.

 

Unfortunately Corsair provides only molex cables with 4 headers, which are very bulky and hard to handle. Especially the narrow header configuration prohibits a space-saving install.

 

My problem is that the molex cable is too short to bridge the distance from PSU to 5 1/4 bays in the top front.

 

Next problem is my Xonar DX soundcard which annoyingly demands a Molex to FDD cable which is within the Corsair AX1200i cable sortiment but the cable is much to short.

 

So does Corsair offer a molex cable prolongation with maybe only 1 or 2 headers for AX1200i? I cannot find one on the Corsair webside.

 

This is what Corsair offers but with 4 headers:

Update:

 

Just re-found this:

Very cool: the pic-e pigtails which will spare me 1 pci-e cable.

 

And maybe I'll replace the Xonar DX with Xonar Phoebus as this sound card provides a pci-e power connector.

 

Or: Rough solution could be detaching the not needed headers from the main molex cable

 

On the other hand I'd still be happy if there were a Corsair molex extension cable or an alternative cable for AX1200i.

If the extension cables can't be had through Corsair, there are options out there such as this:

Note that this is for the Molex end and not the PSU end. I know 72" is way too long, but look around at this and other sites.

Thank you for your link. What I need is a black sleeved extension from PSU to Molex.

The pinout at the PSU is proprietary, so you're not going to find a longer cable that goes from the PSU to Molex unless Corsair makes it (and they don't).

 

Best option is to just buy an extension or make your own cable.
