Power Supply Can an SFX PSU power a big case?

[grumpyrobin]

Hi Guys,
I have been snooping around this forum for a month or so.
I am really looking forward to building a Ryzen build in an NCASE M1 once the x300 boards become available.

My problem is the PSU on my current PC (ENERMAX 600W gold, 2500k, gtx 970, 2ssds 1 hdd, Lancool Dragonlord k-62 case) is failing.
Well not so much failing but whenever the POWER cables move a bit the PC just closes, and this is driving me insane.

So I was thinking of buying a Corsair SF 600 to power my future build, but can I use it to power my current rig?
like are the cables enough, or are they long enough etc?

Cheers,

Grumpy

You'll need either an SFX to ATX bracket or zip ties. How big is your case? The cables might fit, I'll measure mine when I get home. If they don't you could always buy an extension cable.

Check this review out. If you have some, get some small gauge rope and cut to the lengths to simulate the cables.

ATX 20+4 pin connector: 300mm
ATX 4+4 pin connector: 400mm
PCI-E 6+2 pin: 400mm
PCI-E 6+2 pin: 400mm
SATA+SATA+SATA+SATA: 100+110+110+110mm
5.25"+5.25"+5.25"+5.25": 100+110+110+110mm

I'll use tape to see if the length is ok anyway, but this is my case for reference http://www.lancoolpc.com/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=15&cl_index=&sc_index=&ss_index=62&g=spec

Actually come to think of it, measuring tape would be better instead of wasting rope...
