After seeing eVGA do it, no. That's a nightmare to manage. Flat ribbons > individually sleeved. Corsair already does that for most of their modular cables now, but outside of that Cubitek does probably the best work with their extensions: http://www.cubitek.com/products/accessories/cables

Edit; looking at the 760i's cable set pic, seeing more sleeving over ribbon than usual. Any reason for that?

None right now. With the price of premium platinum products and the components required to produce them, an AX660 platinum would cost almost the same as an AX760 platinum.

We are looking at lower wattages for other products and lower wattage platinum parts on the roadmap, though. But for now, the AX series is staying 760 or higher.

I was wondering when they were gonna get a platinum efficiency power supply out. That price is insane, though.

That price is just a turn down.
EVGA supernova is still where I'm going to go.

EVGA Supernova isn't really too practical, NEX650-750G are based on the FSP Aurum design and the 750 Bronze is based on the FSP Raider design, both are pretty mediocre.

I would get the Seasonic Platinums for the Rosewill Tachyons.

As far as I can tell, the supernova is only worth it if you are doing quad 480s or have multiple processors.

For that price, you'd have thought it.

nontheless, i have no doubt that these are quality units. I personally run a AX850 and couldn't be happier with it. I'm inclined to believe this is a pricetag based on quality alone and not profit, especially when you consider the length of the warranty, which to me shows some confidence in the product(s) a company manufactures.

With the kind of performance my current AX850 offers, i will not be upgrading - but it's still nice to see them putting out new units.
