I have a HP omen obelisk 875 and I recently upgraded my graphics card so I wanted to upgrade my 500w stock PSU. So I bought a EVGA bronze 750 which I'm going to take back because I don't like all the extra cables. I want to upgrade to the gold modular 750 to eliminate the extra cables. My problem is the cable that connects to my HDD appears to be to tall on the bronze cables and I have to forcibly push on the side of case to get it to close which puts pressure on the cable connection. I'm wondering if there is any different cables I can use with shorter heads that don't stick out as much. I'm assuming that the gold 750 will have the same cables so should I even order one or look for a PSU brand that has shorter connector heads.

    Sounds like you just need a custom cable... https://store.cablemod.com/configurator

    Are custom cables generally interchangeable with any PSU or should I be looking carefully at manufacturer, wattage and efficiency. I've got a 700w 80 platinum and always liked the idea of contrasting white cables with a black build but I've been very wary of tampering with the power supply.

    No..Pinout on the PSU can be different, resulting in the wrong pinout on the component-end, resulting in component failure..Need to check cable compatibility with the PSU when replacing/adding cables and that information will be available from the cable supplier/manufacturer.

    * 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 *

    OK that's good to know. I'll be super careful. Measure twice and cut once!
