Alternative cables for the AX1200?

Hi,

I don't really want to use the molex connector cables included with the AX1200; the kind that has four connectors. I want molex cables with just one connector. You can understand that this has somewhat of a negative impact on my cable management.

My question is, can I buy any cables and connect them to my AX1200? Will I void my warranty if I use alternative cables?

Kind regards,
.maker

Yes, it would void your warranty to use different cables, or to modify the cables. It may even be dangerous to use different cables.

I would also love the option to get alternative cables with only 1 or 2 connectors as it would make cable management so much better. I'm pretty sure most people that buy a PSU in the price range of the AX-series also cares about cable management so an "alternative cables-kit" with a few "low connector-count cables" should be appreciated by most.

Yeah, seriously. At the very least, I think that Corsair should offer to sell cables for the AX1200. I don't really care if there's a price premium attached to justify the production of cables like that (I can imagine not a lot of people would buy them). I'll pay the price for sure, my case is cluttered as hell because the distance between my PSU and my HDD's only allow me to use one connector (the one at the very end).

In other words, I run three different four-connector molex cables behind my motherboard tray... and it's a Fortress FT02, so I can barely close the panel.

I have the same problem with my AX850 and my H80 I can close the size panel on 800D but barely. Cables with just one or two molex with be great, seeing as how most people probably only need just that, one or two.

I have noticed that a lot of people using the Corsair AX-class power supply units have turned to using braided NZXT extension cables.

I understand these cables work perfectly attached to normal AX-class cables. Can you confirm this?

Can you link to the cables you're referring to? If they did work, it would certainly invalidate your warranty though!

This is a link to NZXT's site where they detail the cables:

I have seen threads on the official Corsair forums where posters claim to have been in contact with Corsair support to confirm that the cables do indeed function with the Corsair power supply units; however, it is not specified whether or not Corsair support could confirm that NZXT extension cables are 1) safe to use and 2) do not constitute a breach of the warranty terms.

I would really appreciate it if you could look this up for me and shed some light on this. I will await your reply with patience!
