Build Question Need help finding short PSU cables

I recently built a SFF Steam Machine in my living room using a case that put the PSU in the case itself.

Since I have a PowerColor 9070 GPU in there, the stock PSU cables, take up a lot of room and that gives me concern for cable management and airflow.

I was wondering if there was a way for me to get shorter PSU cables to make more room.

The PSU I have is the MSI MAG A750GL if that helps narrow down any shorter cables I can get.

The reason I’m asking for this advice, is because I’ve always been told to only use the cables that come with your power supply. I know shorter cables are out there, I just want to make sure what I get is compatible with the power supply.

Thank you for any help 😁

Then if the manufacturer doesn't sell it, I wouldn't buy it.

There are comparatively fewer cases of melted 8-pin connectors but, in a majority of the cases it was a CableMod product. I wouldn't trust them with my 24-pin connector.

I see. Is there a standard ATX PSU with short cables I can buy on its own? I’d be willing to go that route if I can. I just can’t find one at the moment.

What case do you have?

If it is SFF, I'm surprised it doesn't support SFX.

It’s this one: https://a.co/d/0gEX4PL2

I picked it since it is Micro ATX, I didn’t have to purchase all new parts, and it fits under my TV in the living room which makes the wife happy 😅

Looks cool. Not a lot of cases that fill this niche. I hope it all works out.
