Hi all,
I am thinking of modifying my PC and more specifically- the power supply cables. What I want to do is keep the power supply at approximately 1 meter distance from the PC box. For that reason I need to extend most of the cables coming out of it so that they can reach the PC box and the motherboard.
Now, I see they sell 0.3 metres extension cables on-line. My question is though- what if I was to modify the extension cable myself and make it 1 meter by cutting and soldering additional wires. Would the motherboard still get the electricity it needs? Is there a limit as to what the extension cables should be?
It's not just about extending the 24 pin cable, it's also the cables for the graphics card, hard drives etc. I am doing the whole thing for aesthetic reasons- I'd like to keep the power supplies separately and out of sight.
Any thoughts?
Thanks guys.
