Got a cm storm trooper yesterday.bt the cables of my current psu which was in a mATX before arent reaching the 4 pin and 24 pin connectors.so can someone recommend me a good psu around 500 with long cables.it should have atleast 2 6 pin pcie connectors and 4/8 pin cpu.any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
 
also i was looking at the seasonic s2 520w bronze.but i wonder if the cables would reach their places after cable management.
 
Thanks for the heads up!
Being a noob i dint have any idea we could use extensions.i sure have to search for them though.
If you had a recommendation what would it have been then?cz atm m using a cheap 450 w and wanna upgrade to a good one.
 
The ATX power connectors, PCIE, and EPS12V on the Corsair TX series are 60cm as stated in their manual if that helps (if you think about it that's more than half a meter). SATA are 85cm and peripheral cables are 100cm. The higher end power supplies have the same cable lengths and those should be long enough for any full tower if that gives you an idea of the adequacy of their lower models.
 
Seasonic seems to go longer on cable length, to the point that HardOCP actually complained a little bit about them being too long on the Seasonic X-560. HardOCP reviews of recent Seasonics see cable lengths of 24-26 inches, while Corsairs have cable lengths somewhat shorter, 16-23 inches. I'm not sure that Seasonic having longer cables than Corsair extends to all of their lines but that seems to be the general theme.

Because I have an Antec P180B with the PSU mount in the bottom of the case, I went with the Seasonic X-560 specifically because of the complaint about long cables.
