I’m trying to route EPS cables in my build (X299 Dark + Corsair AX1600i in Cooler Master HAF X) and I am scratching my head how to do it cleanly without them just going across motherboard and video card. Is there something I’m failing to see or cables Corsair included are just too short? If later what would be solution? I can’t find Corsair offering longer EPS cables for this PSU and it is my understanding I can’yt get one from aftermarket either because original ones have integrated capacitors.

    There's extension cables like this one you can buy at most places PC parts/accessories are sold.

    * Corsair Obsidian 450D Mid-Tower - Airflow Edition * ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC) * Intel i7-8700K @ 5.0 GHz * 16GB G.SKILL Trident Z 4133MHz * Sabrent Rocket 1TB M.2 SSD * WD Black 500 GB HDD * Seasonic M12 II 750W * Corsair H115i Elite Capellix 280mm * EVGA GTX 760 SC * Win7 Home/Win10 Home *

    I've heard they have worse performance than single longer cable so I am hoping for a single cable solution.

    None of these are compatible?! The bottom 2 say AX units and look like they have the cap in line too on them. Make sure though, ask Corsair if you cant figure it out for sure. They are very good with customer service. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-%7C-Parts/c/Cor_Products_Accessories_Parts?q=%3Afeatured%3AproductCategories%3ACor_Products_Accessories_Parts_PCComponents_PowerSupplies%3AaccessoryType%3AEPS12V%252FATX12V%2Bcable&text=&pageSize=12#rotatingText

    I just went diagonal across the back & up around to the EPS on mine ... though different MB ... EPS were on top edge
     
    its a tight fit but should work

    Longest Corsair's EPS replacement cables I was able to find are only 4" longer than what is included with AX1600i while I need at least 9", ideally 10". (... that's what she said)

    I considered it but inline capacitors on MB side make cable very stiff in that section, impossible to route in my case and further wasting inches :( It seems I have no choice but to get good quality extension while looking for perfect solution.
