Im looking to purchase 2 PCI-E Custom psu cables and one 24 pin atx extension from cablemods.
What length should I order the cables? The two pci-e cables are direct replacements that run from the psu to the graphics card.
This build will be in the Phanteks Enthoo pro m tempered glass. I will probably route the cables up from the psu shroud into the GPU.
The 6-pin and 8-pin pci-e cables are two separate cables and not a jumper.
 
The 24 pin atx will come right out the grommet beside the motherboard and plug directly in. So that one i assume could be pretty short.
 
What is you guys experience with the cable lengths? Anyone use anything beside default lengths?
(600mm default for replacement PCI-E cables, and 300mm default for 24pin atx extension)
(Custom lengths for pci-e replacements can be from 150mm to 900mm)
(Custom lengths for 24pin atx extension can be from 200mm to 600mm)
 
Anyone have suggested lengths for The cables in the case im using with an atx motherboard? (asus maximus x hero z370)
Specs:
Enthoo pro m tempered glass case.
Asus Maximus x Hero z370 motherboard
1080ti Sc2 hybrid (radiator mounted at back exhaust)
H115I cpu aio mounted in front intake of case 
So should have plenty of room, even though shouldn't be an issue since the thru holes for each (motherboard connector and gpu connector are fairly close to the hardware)
 
Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    hard to say . no case and its or your way of cable management  is the same  , I guess off the cuff is see the cable specs of the stock cables and go by that 
     
    like from here for a example  pci-e cables  2x 650mm   so those are  650mm long each  ??  [check any other brands as well for a average  or longest used stock ? ]

    if you feel that's not long enough just add what you need in your custom order 
     
    maybe use a string or piece of  18 gauge wire  and run it as you would want your cables to go   and measure it  to see ?
     
    cant see how I or anyone  could guess  at what you need  for your needs
     
    good luck
