EVGA - What would you pay for PCIE cables?
I recently purchased an EVGA Supernova 1000 G2 power supply for my rig here and though I love it, I’m not particularly a fan of the red PCIE power cables for the GPU.
In the end I wound up using my NZXT’s extension cables to hide the red cables, though I really love a true 8 pin to 6+2 PCIE VGA cable.
Anyway searching the net for one I came across a post and contact for EVGA. I e-mail the rep asking about replacement cables, even stating that I’d be willing to pay.
Unfortunately the reply was there were none available. I followed up his reply stating that EVGA should consider providing a set of black cables for those of us not wanting red. I also stated that I’d be interested in what the feedback on these are, or amount of inquiries on obtaining black ones are. I got this question back…
My answer….Andrew
Let me ask you a question, if I was to say we offered a Set of Black cables, what would you be willing to pay for them?
If they came individually sleeved, would you pay more and if so, how much?
Thanks for any feedback!
Now the way I see it, if they are going to provide a true 8-pin to 6+2 cable, I’d pay for that. Especially if it’s universal, meaning it’ll fit any modular power supply.That’s a hard one but if we looked at the market price of NZXT’s extension cables, which are also individually sleeved, they run about $7 dollars each. With that, if we’re talking a full cable capable of fitting into a modular power supply, and being a true 8-pin to 6+2, I’d say $24 for a pair, 11.99 each. I’d be careful of the pricing though as extension cables are readily available, and if the price is too high, customers may simply go that way. The other thing you may have to factor in is shipping – how much and how long a wait.
Looking around the net, you’re hard pressed to find a cable such as the one described above unless they come with the PS. Anyway I gave a price of 24 bucks for a pair, 11.99 for a single one.
With that, what are your thought on this? Specifically if you had to pay, what would it be? Is 24/11.99 too high, too low, or just right? Why?
BTW if you want to see the seriousness and character of this representative check this thread… evga supernova 1000w g2 replacement cables? | EVGA Forums. Great customer service. Oh and he may check this thread as he stated he was looking forward to the feedback. Plus he’s already been here as he checked out my system.
Again, if EVGA were selling these what would you pay?
Thanks.
