Any UV properties to the new B-Magic? Or is that only for the aquamarine?

This is my work so far...I have 2 more 8pin(6+2)Pci-E left and a 24pin CPU extension ofc! My theme is red and black, the red isn't that red that i will be using next because i have a red pearl paint who shifts in the color x colors inide my modded chassi, i litterelary want the color x sleeve, but i have to wait after my new upgrade and se if i need to upgrade my psu aswell :), a 3-SLI rigg needs power!, i im hoping the color x matched heatshring is coming aswell, Off to the Pics!

Hello,

I have a Silverstone Strider 850 Gold PSU that I want to sleeve. The problem is, some connectors have a large capacitor on them. How do you guys suggest I sleeve the cable with it?

It's kinda funny how many people have asked this question in this thread. They just reduce electrical noise. You can cut 'em off. =)

Just wondering if anybody does custom sleeved extensions preferably from the UK? I know Crys1s Gam3r does but sadly he's in the U.S. I would like some done for my upcoming build and really cba to do them myself:yepp: Would gladly pay good coin for a good job.

Thanks.

Hi guys, i recently joined the MDPC-x gang and started some sleeving with rather great success/

However, I am seeking some guidance in how I can sleeve those dual cables coming out from one "pin" of a connector.

Let me try to explain.

I have a Seasonic X-series X-850 PSU, for example, the PCI-Express modular cable is split into two to go to two PCI-E 6/8pin connectors. So, some of the pins lead to two wires.

I'm having a real hard time to sleeve those. What I do is individually sleeve each of the two cables , this is easy.

Then I put a standard small heatshrink on BOTH cable (hard but it's doable).

I shrink it with heat, but the result is to "big" to fit again in the previous pin from the connector.

those two cables coming out of one single pin already take the whole space available in the pin connector, i can't understand how you can achieve something nice, there is no way you can fit it....

Can someone help? thanks :)

PS : if nils from mdpc is reading this, i got the same nickname as on your website for ordering (I loved the picture you drew on the post package :) )

Here is what I mean with a pic :

here are 2 other pics just to show you what i've done so far ;-)

Hopefully you don't take this suggestion the wrong way, because I do love your work~

While I would love to be able to post the photos free of watermarks here, it isn't worth the headache that ensues when others claim them as their own. If there are any specific shots that you would like to see without the watermarks, I'd be happy to send you the links. I do agree that it detracts from the overall aesthetic, however I have yet to find another solution.
