Do cable extensions exist?

I'm a little suprised after I tried to install a Fortron Blue Storm II 500 watt in a Silverstone LC20. The connector that goes to supply the CPU was not long enough to reach it. So, I ended up putting it inside my Coolermaster Centurion 5 case. I discovered my Fortron is not as silent as my Seasonic S-12 because the fan rattles. My silent computer is no longer silent (like I wanted it anyway). On top of that, I had to use a molex extender included with a Coolermaster 80mm fan to reach the connector for the video card power.

In any case, does anyone know if you can buy an extension so I could plug in the power for the CPU? I'd rather have my Forton in my other computer.

Yes, you just need to know what they're called. Here's one place - http://www.performance-pcs.com...h=186&products_id=2512

Because cheaper is better. Especially when you're just buying bits of metal and plastic. 🙂

Their SATA cables are cheap too. (Yes, I bought mine there. SATAs and the ATX extension too)

Yeah, it's the 4-pin one I was looking for. Gee, thanks for the links. That's very interesting. I didn't know there are all kinds. I suppose if someone bought the wrong power supply, they might have a solution right there. Cool. 🙂

You went from a Seasonic S12 to a FSP Blue Storm 2? Why!

Sorry to be ther bearer of bad news but that was a down grade not an upgrade. If you had the 430W S12 it offers 29A on the combined +12v rails where the Blue Storm only has about 22A to 24A on the combined +12v rails. What made you decide to go with the FSP unit?

Uh, because 500 is a bigger number than 430?

I don't know exactly which S12 the OP had... perhaps he had a 330W version and just upgraded to an 8800GTX?
