yes thats right, you should not get round cables! my last power supply had round cables, i'm not talking about some little cable, these things are thick, blocking about 100% of air flow. my gpu has gone from 45-48c at idle with the round cables, and with the flexforce cables (thin, not round) i now have 39-38c.
it is a big difference and with all my fans it make everything in my computer a lot better. for example, cpu, it is overclocked by .1 GHz, i got a nice copper heatsink and a 80mm fan on it, and thermal paste. it keeps it nice and cool.
