Hey everyone,
I just put in my new CPU cooler and it looks much neater with the new case fans. But I've always considered my GPU's power cables to be a mess. Are there any cleaner-looking options available? These cables have unused heads, making them harder to handle. Please see the attached picture.
Thanks
The Cable

These extensions have unused heads so its harder to manage it.
Perhaps just manage the cables a little better. If I were in your shoes, I'd rearrange the order in which they're connected so I can overlap the wires and manage them into one flat bundle.
Perhaps you look into a harness that has native 12v-2x6 connectivity instead of having to work with the adapter. You might want to be wary that you can still end up with a melted connector on the GPU's end or the PSU's end.
What is the make and model of your PSU? Where are you located?

Hey, I've been using the same setup for about 1.5 years and it's working well. My PSU is a Corsair RM 1000E (2023) with 1000W and 80+ rating. I'm planning to replace the cables that came with my PSU, as I haven't bought OEM ones before but they're not ideal.

This product is the Corsair 2x8 pin > 12v 2x6 type power cable.

But there are three cables here. This one has two headers, isn't it?

Remove the Nvidia adapter cable and link the 12v 2x6 pin straight to the GPU. The 2x8pin connectors will go into the PSU.
