    Corsair Braided cable kit (Blue)

    Hi guys, I was thinking of buying a braided cable kit in blue for my Corsair AX 850 but noticed it only comes with 2x 6+2 pin pci-e cables, it is the same kit for the AX 850, 750 and 650, I may get a second gtx 680 in the future so will need 4x 6+2 pin pci -e but you only get 4 of these cables in the AX 1200 kit which is specific to that psu......does anyone know if it would be ok to use the AX 1200 kit so I can get the extra 2 6+2 pin pci-e cables that I need, or does anyone know if they can be bought separate, I've emailed Corsair twice but still not got an answerer.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hi Spoons33

    I have part of an answer and that is that the Ax1200 Kit cant be used as it is specific to that model

    Cosair seem to think your PSU comes with two PCI-E cable bundles with two 6+2-pin plugs on each (so 4 in total) but they will double check and get back to me

    Regards

    Ben

    Re: Corsair Braided cable kit (Blue)

    Hi Ben, thx for looking into this for me, my Ax850 does indeed have 2 sets (4 in Total) but from what I can see the Braided kits only have 1 set (2 in total) so I could always use an original set that came with the Ax 850 but as
    they would be in black and not Blue like the other cables would be, it kind of defeats the object. It seems strange that Corsair include 4 pci-e cables (2 x 6+2 sets) with the Ax850 psu but only give 2 pci-e (1 x 6+2 set) in the coloured cable kits

    Thanxs again
