Instead of invalidating the warranty on my PSU, I have purchased some extension cables from Tom.
I purchased a few braided and non braided cabled. I decided to braid them all in Tom's Dense Weave braid.
First up the 8 pin ATX connection
Also purchased some 2.5mm Dense Weave cable braid & heat shrink.
Purchased a new pair of pliers and side cutters from the local pound shop (no expense spared)
Cut the original braiding off to expose the cable and connections.
Then used a few paper stables to release the pins
As you can see, the clips are straightened and pushed down the side of the connector to release the pins.
After a little bit of time, finished
I also purchased extensions for the graphics card.
Stripped them down as before
The finished item
Finally the 24pin motherboard cable
The finished item
I have to say, I am very pleased with the results (even better than I thought).
Also have to say that the dense weave braid I perched from Tom is excellent and I will definitely be going back for more.
