I just ordered the M1 yesterday. (Asus Z170I Pro Gaming , Corsair AIO, EVGA 1080-FE, Corsair SF600 etc, to be ordered shortly)
To make the build easier, should I get a set of custom, shortened power cables, and is there one brand over another you would recommend? And how do I know what length to have the cables shortened to?
Is there a log, website post, or YouTube video describing the build in detail with my specific components that you are aware of? Any help/ideas are welcome.
Thanks.
I got a set of custom cables for my SF450 and found it much easier and cleaner. As far as I know the only companies selling custom cables for the SF series are Configurator | CableMod Global Store and Custom Corsair SF Series Cables Prices seem to be about the same. I got a set of EnSourced and from watching videos on the CableMod the quality seems very similar. Same with color options and lengths available. I have a Gigabyte Z170N and the 24 pin and 8 pin are in the same position. I went with 30cm for both 24 and 8 pin. 20cm for the SATA power connection which I have in the front ODD slot and 20cm for the pci power connection. I wish I had gone with 30cm for the pci power because I had to go over the top of the video card rather than wrap it beneath it, which is what I would have preferred to do. Link to my build if you want to take a look. r98farmer's Completed Build - Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 970 4GB - PCPartPicker
