Sleeved cables worth it? - Page 2

post #11 of 14
The question is: is there any benefit to sleeved cables other than aesthetics?

The answer is: no.

But even if all those were sleeved, it would still look bad without being nicely routed. If you still take your time in routing, the sleeving is just a nice extra touch.

Sleeving is really to just show off your rig. I am content with the power in my rig, so I am going to sleeve all of my cables and make it impressive with cable management and sleeving. If you could care less, then don't bother with the money. I would, however, work on cable management, as rigs like TSM106 linked may have airflow problems.

I have Alchemy cables in my main PC and I would not say they are a lot better than the NZXT product. They are a little easier to route and have no heatshrink, but other than that I see no big difference. The BF cables are matte and the NZXT are glossy, but thats preference.

I was presenting the most economical way to get sleeved since he was asking was it worth it. Putting the price into perspective- (2) PCIe 8pin cables from Frozen shipped? $22. For a couple dollars more you get the NZXT Set with a 24pin and 8pin AUX extension. Clearly the better deal for someone already on the fence about it.
