Good, long-cable PSU??

Hallo world ,

I'll be buying some new parts soon, especially for my GTS250. I want my case to move fast the air and to be cooler, but also to be silent while my current GPU's stock cooler doesn't do quite the job. I'm aiming to buy 4 Noctua NF-B9 fans (2 for the GPU; 2 for the CPU). The GPU's cooler going to be the THERMALRIGHT T-Rad2 (and maybe also the THERMALRIGHT HR-11). Moreover, I would prefer the PSU's cables to be good for management and that they would be long also. Because from my OCZ X-stream Stealth, the 24pin motherboard connector and the 4pin power connector fits so tight that it gave me a lot of sweat on the head to plug them on the motherboard.... Notwithstanding that my forehead's now dried up.... So I really need a very good PSU @ 600W that is from an excellent & trusted manufacturer.

Thank you,
Pat.

^5 +1 what WR2 said.

There are a variety of 4, 6, 8, 20, and 24 pin psu power extension cables available from many online vendors. A few of the vendors that cater to case modders will even sleeve them in the color of your choice for a few dollars more.

The general rule of thumb is a high quality 500 to 500 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the 12 volt rail(s) can easily power a system with any single video card made. A high quality 700 to 750 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the 12 volt rail(s) can power a system with two video cards operating in dual mode. There are a few exceptions like the new ATI Radeon HD 4770, 5850, and 5870 cards which use a little less power due to their energy efficiency.

Before purchasing a new psu you will need to decide whether you will evdentually have a pc with one or two video cards.

Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, and Seasonsic are some of the brands that have a reputation for high quality power supplies that consistently earn high marks in technical reviews. They are reliable, stable, and come with a 5 year warranty. Lately we've been seeing a few other brands offering some high quality units.

Although, this one can it be good? Link
And did I needed to say what pieces my rig has? Or you just check my profile page, ya?! Cause apparently I cannot OC anything, or it just crashes, even to the smallest increase.... Just lame...beh!

Oh, well... I did some more research for a PSU and among many, the OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ550FTY 550W seem to fit my needs so wonderfully.

I see... but I would like to have it easy with the cables... like manage those I need from those I don't. Does the 700 series of Fatal1ty make it so with the cables as same as with its 550 series? Is there some PSU from among the good ones that ranges from 19in to 23in on the market (that is of course, with both the 20+4pin mobo connector and the 4pin 12Vpower connector)??

When all else fails Google is my friend.

Here are links to two psu cable length charts:

You can find the cable lengths of Corsair power supplies by looking in the owner manuals which are available at the Corsair web site. Here is an example:

Corsair - 24 inches - you're in luck!

You may or may not be able to find cable lengths by looking for other manufacturers owner manuals. Have fun!

Hmmm. That's so helpful of both of you.... but I think that I'll try those two cable extension for the 24 pin and the 4 pin FTW.
