24 pin cable - How short is TOO short?

[Rune75]

I've got a 18+10pin to 20+4pin cable on my Corsair RM650i p/s and it's stupidly long... Would there be any issues with making / buying a cable that is closer to 5 inches long?

Other than flexibility of installation, nope. A shorter cable (of same wire thickness) means less wire resistance, which means lower voltage drops and cooler wires. I would suggest using a 90 degree connector if you can.

Awesome... Got a link? Xoxide and frozenCPU seem to be letting me down...

EDIT: Found them on Amazon. Thanks for the suggestion!

No problem.
