I did a search and I didn't see it posted yet, so I figured I would share.

Available now in Black, Blue, Red, White: http://www.corsair.com/power-supply-...cessories.html $79.99 (HX, TXM), $89.99(AX650, AX750, AX850), $99.99 (AX1200)

Considering the cost of sleeving material, the correct tools, and time spent, these kits are priced well.

I like this. I think they should sell well.

[Linchpin]

I think that's going to make Corsair power supplies an even better and more convenient choice for a lot of people. Say what you want about Corsair but you can't deny that their products have been spot on when it comes to making stuff enthusiasts want.

Great idea, but... no green. /sadface

Send them an email requesting it, who know they might listen. Corsair has been really good about delivering products the people want as long as there is a reasonable demand

[CrazyNutz]

Super sweet!!!

I think the AX650, AX750, AX850 cable set should work with the Seasonic X650, X750, and X850 too

[BeepBeep2]

They should.

I wonder if they work on SS M12 (80+ Silver) based units?...

[3lfk1ng]

You brave souls should try them on your Seasonic units. The enthusiast community needs to know.

[kroks]

yes that should work with seasonic x series

same cables and stuff

but 90$!

and I don't know if the description is wrong but:
2 EPS/ATX 12V sleeved
only 2 PCIE 8 pins sleeved!

[3lfk1ng]

Like I said before $90 is cheap when you really look into it.

Considering this:
I would guess that most people on this forum get paid somewhere between $10 and $20/hr. It takes most people 8 to 12 hours to sleeve an entire PSU. That alone makes it worth it, now add up the following costs...
A good sleeving kit is $25 to $60
Sleeving tools are $10-$30
That's not including any costly mistakes that might be made.

Nice, too bad they only include 2 PCIe cables. You need either 4 or 6 if you plan on doing SLI/CF which is the point of the 750/850 PSU's. I don't even see where you can add additional cables.

[tbone8ty]

this a good quick alternative, but nothing beats sleeving by hand...looks better overall.

im sure these will be stiff and sloppy heatshrink.

eventually this idea will be a stock thing on many modular PSU's in the future

this is a good first step

That is pretty lame. The AX1200 kit comes with 6.

[Utnorris]

Exactly, which makes no sense. I could see 4, but just two and it's just $10 less. Tell me how that makes sense.

[Molotox]

According to the review and Corsair's online shop, each kit comes with the same number of cables the original PSU did.

[Oliverda]

Nice move but that pricing is ridiculous.

[koksy]

nice!! already trying to order

[Miwo]

great for PC ricers

[metachronos]

Every corsair product I've ever used has been great. I have a 400r case and an ax850 and I love both.

[Manicdan]

price is VERY GOOD

i think i spent over 60$ on supplies alone on to sleeve my stuff, and i actually did not use very much material since i also cut my wires very short to fit well in the briefcase builds i did.
if you have 10-20 hours spare and want to do it yourself, go right ahead.

is this compatible with the 650W seasonic gold? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151088
it has the 24pin split into 2 bundles that looks like the AX series

[Aberration]

Wow this is awesome. I now know who I am getting my PSU from on my upcoming build!

I think its two modular cables (with each one having two PCIe connectors on them) like the original cables. So you end up with 4 on the 750/850.

[MisterMagoo]

Anyone order these yet?

[3lfk1ng]

I have not. I don't have enough visible wires in my case to justify the aesthetics.

[Bolas]

Well... considering I wanted a Corsair power supply before... Now I REALLY want one. This settles it, next PSU for next build will be the Corsair AX1200.
