May pick one up for a new build that’s going to happen.
**is it safe to test this out in an old core 2 quad to make sure it works**

Should be safe for your old rig.

hot, but 2 annoyances: there's a relay that clicks when it power cycles; capacitors in the cables which can make routing difficult.

Are the cables long enough for a big case?

Are the cables long enough for a big case?

getting the CPU cable behind the board, through the hole in the top, and then plugged in to the board in my fractal R3/4 was a bit of a chore, iirc, due to those capacitors. should probably plug it in with the board out of the case and then run the length of the cable through down to the power supply. other than that, no issues.
