P180 cables...

[demon42]

Are Ultra X-Connect cables long enough for a P180? I'm thinking about buying one of these cases. ( I already have the PSU )

If the cables aren't long enough, you can get extensions...
24 pin 12" extension
8 pin 12" extension
PCIe 12" extension
ATX 6-pin 6" extension

extensions in the P180 are your friend.... MOST likely you will need them. they aren't much at all, i ordered mine just in case.... and i did need them.

You will need them in your case because ocz psus have really short cables. Go with any antec and extensions are not your friend. They have been known to cause major power issues...Its like modular is not as reliable...

I think the cables should be at LEAST 18" long. Most reputable PSU companies do make their cables that long, Seasonic and OCZ being the only ones I have heard of that are "too short".

If you wanna stay safe, just get an Antec PSU

And btw...the X-Connect is one of the worst PSUs you can get, from what I hear.

My OCZ 520W cables are mostly 19" except for the 20pin and I still needed more, this is... if you want your system looking good.

The only short cables from the OCZ mod is the atx and the pcie and the atx 12 other than that OCZ is one of the best psu in the market.

I've heard lots of people saying the Modstream's cables are short in general, not just for a P180. Or do you have a Powerstream?
