just a heads up, i've had these cables close to one year now and many of them are fraying at the connectors.  Over the last couple of weeks, every time I fired up a game my system would hard lock.  Took one GPU out and it was ok for a few days until Sunday it started hard locking on a single card.  I replaced everything possible ( even tried a 1000p2, 1200p2 and 850g2) in the system and the last option was trying different cables.  Replaced the cables with the standard cables that came with the 850g2 and the system is now running perfectly stable even with both cards installed.  Could be isolated, but I would take this into consideration before spending $90 on these cables.

CRAP!!!  Too late, I just pulled the trigger on them last night!  I'm hoping maybe yours is an isolated case or perhaps they've changed their production methods in the year since you've had them.  Oh well, $90 isn't really very much money to spend on individually sleeved cables, if they end up being a problem I'll just buy the set from CableMod, I already know their quality is very good.

I've had mine for a year and no issues as of yet. I did have one cable sleeve pull off, but didn't effect anything.

You should push the wires into the connector and verify they are all seated properly. It only takes one that isn't full seated to cause a hardlock.

Also, how did they fray? Where you constantly removing parts and replacing them? Normally they just sit there after being plugged in, not moving, and can't fray is why I ask.

Everything appeared and felt to be seated properly.  I will admit, they've been used in 3 different cases which probably contributed to the fraying. My concern about that is because i've never had that issue with any other cables that were in and out of several different cases.  I also noticed on some other sleeved cables there is a small rubber boot at the end of each wire, and i would like to see that added to these in the future, if possible.

That small rubber boot is heat shrink tubing, not having them is actually a major selling point for these cables.  Rather than use heat shrink to keep the sleeves in place, they crimp the sleeve directly into the end of the contact pin.  It's really a matter of preference I guess, but the trend has gone toward having no visible heat shrink. 

Yes srink look bad really...
That's why people love these cables more than CORSAIR, because no srink.

I think this has been asked before but here it goes.
I just bought an EVGA 850 G *not G2*, I am wondering if the cable kits marked as G2 etc will be a direct replacement?  
Thanks for your time!

Please contact EVGA tech support

whom exactly should I contact?
Are the pin  outs exactly the same?

If you have 850 GS you can compare connectors with G2 models.
For me they look same, some of them, I didn't pay attention on all.
You need to compare one by one and to ask EVGA about that.

Can someone PLEASE answer the many times asked question as to the length of these cables? Are they the same length as the stock cables or hopefully longer? Beautifully sleeved cables are a waste if I still need to use extensions. I know for a fact that I'll need longer cables to reach from the top of my case  to the basement compartment.
 
Are there extensions available that will fit between the PSU and either these or the stock cables so I can use these cables?

I will see if I can find a tape ensure at Walmart and measure them when I get home. I have stock and these kits, so I will lay them side by side for exact measurements..

To answer your question if they will reach the top of your case, it would depend on your case and the full length required to reach the top as well as pass through the port to wrap around. I can not see signatures, so I am not sure about the length you would need overall.
