New Corsair 330r case PSU 12v CPU cable not long enough advice?

PeterH92 · Jan 8, 2017

Hi, everyone I've just got myself the Corsair 330r Titanium case I have one slight problem my current PSU the 12v CPU cable isn't long enough to reach into the socket the PSU is at the bottom of the case and my micro ATX motherboard at the top I have decided to get a new PSU altogether so which one would be the best option I'm looking for a modular one with a longer 12v CPU cable.

Thanks,
Peter.

Use a cable extension.

I've been thinking about getting an extension but may as well get a new PSU my current one isn't up to much very cheap on eBay around £20 so I'm looking into getting a modular one just don't know which PSU would be the best option.

You need to spend a decent amount to get a worthy Modular power supply .£20 PSU should never be used to power any setup.

I know I've got around £120 to spend on a new PSU I said the current one I have in my system is a £20 one from eBay that's why I'm upgrading to a better reliable brand just don't know which one to go for and how big are the cables that you get with the PSU nowadays?
