Hi everyone! I recently set up my new PC for a POST test on the motherboard box and everything is working great. However, I noticed an aesthetic issue with the power supply I bought, which is the MSI MAG A850 GL PCIE5. It comes with two PCIE cables, each having dual 6x2 split connectors. My GPU has two 8-pin ports, and while connecting both cables works, the extra dangling connectors look pretty messy. I know there are adapters that convert 12V high power to multiple 8-pin PCIE connections, and I'm wondering if that's the best option or if I should just look for MSI-compatible 8-pin PCIE cables or some adapters to tidy things up. Since my build is mostly white, but I'm open to black cables if they're cheaper, I want to make sure I avoid any low-quality options. Thanks for your advice!

You might want to consider cable extensions instead. They attach to your existing PSU cables and can reach into the visible part of your build, helping to make everything look nice. Plus, there are plenty of stylish options out there! Check out something like this one: [AsiaHorse Custom Braided Extension](https://www.amazon.com/AsiaHorse-Extension-Sleeved-Custom-Braided/dp/B0BVQVYVGW). They’re great for aesthetics!
Any brands you'd recommend for extensions? Initially, I wasn't keen on adding more cables, but I'm sure I can hide them well in my NZXT H6 Flow case.
