3.0 out of 5 starsgood power supply, bad cables.

this is the same size as my old 650 watt power supply it replaced, and more efficient. But, I was hoping it being modular would help with cable management and it actually got worse. The cables are extremely stiff and the way the connectors are arranged at the end of the cables doesn't work for my layout. I had to mount an ssd upside down because the middle sata connector didn't work otherwise, and had to use 3 vga cables for my 2 graphics cards because the connectors wouldn't bend to reach, and even with that it seems impossible for me to bend the cables in tight enough angles to actually be able to close my case, the graphics card connectors and sata connectors on my case all point right into a door and with how stiff the cables are there is no way for me to close those doors now. My old non-modular power supply never had this issue. The cables are just too stiff and the end pieces are too short to position correctly. Also little things made the install harder than necessary, like the motherboard 4+4 connector being completely separated with no way to clip together making it even harder to install in super tight spaces since there were 2 connectors to snap in instead of 1.
