You just have to pull the wires out of it. You can see that once the cover piece is off (lower right), that the wires will slide out of the bottom piece (lower left).Quote:

Hi.
Just started to sleeve my hx1000 with some lovely mdpc sleeving :) I have a quick question though. There is 3 cables with 2 wires into 1 pin, a yellow (+12v), a red (+5v) and a orange (+3.3v) Now im using a chart to go by but it doesnt show any cable with doubled up wires. Aslong as they go in the correct place its fine yeh? Just wanna make sure before i get stuck in :)
Thanks.
EDIT: After some searching around it seems the 3 wires are sense wires and need to go back in exactly the same slot they came from. Spent last hour or so in google looking but cant find anything. Im f****d unless some body knows lol.
I will think about that, I thought it was the easy way to sleeve the PSU like Xien16 did on his Lian Li A05N ( I have this case too but with Caseking Noisedampening) But i prefer not to be a "copy" of a MDPC build.Quote:

nils sleeve is beautiful :D
How do I sleeve a pin that has 2 wires adjoined?
Is orange sleeve UV reactive ?
Sleeves that specifically say (UV Reactive) are UV.
Does anyone have a picture of red, black and grey sleeve together??
So, my sleeving got here:
Awesome little cartoon, notice how I am dressed in Amurikan Yankee clothes :) (BTW Nils, thanks for taking the time =)

Comparison to the purple you find around the web. My colors aren't even close to accurate as Xien16's--but this should at least give you some contrast.

Ok, I am here to say THANK YOU MDPC!!! I took a plunge and ordered the official MDPC tool, and I had my reserves, but they are gone! This thing is so amazing I had to share it with you all. If you don't have one you need to get it, as it is by far the best tool I have ever used--and I have used oh so many =(
There is no fighting your tool to get the pins out--the beveled edges allow the tool to slip in easily, and then all you need to do is softly pull to get the plugs out.
Here is the tool I was using before (and had gotten me through four Corsair PSUs). It was incredibly durable and a good friend--but it is utter crap compared to the MDPC tool. I can say with confidence it was worth the 20 dollars and then some.

Sleeving is actually fun with the MDPC tool. :up::up::up:
Does anyone know a good way to sleeve a molexcable like the one in the red rectangle in the pic attached?
The problem is that you can't put the shrink over the pin and i don't think you'll be able to fit two heatshrunk wires into the plastic housing.
How can i do this properly without pieces of bare wire showing?
Well, I would suggest checking out FrozenCPU or Performance PC's and purchase some extra molex connectors which allow the heatshrink to put through the small square opens. That's just one way of doing it
You have to fold the pins over as close to the wire as you can. Bend the wire as close to the pin as you can, and possibly tape the pin parallel to the wire.Quote:

I don't think it is possible to shrink the heatshrink tight against the pin (can't shrink over the pin due to the 2 wires) on both wires and get the pin back in the plastic molex housing but i must say i haven't tried yet. The whole package is just to thick to fit back in me thinks.
easy answer, cut the pre made sleeving + heatshrink and sleeve every single cable.. looks 100x sexier and 100x neater :)
I think my question is still unclear. :shrug:
I'd like to know a good way to sleeve those molex cables that have an in- and outgoing wire at some of the connectors. I want to sleeve each wire indiviually but i don't want any colored wire to show close to the connector.
Some of the wire goes into the connector, so if you have a little showing when you're done sleeving, it will be hidden by the connector when you re-insert the pin.
Yes but will the two wires with heatshrink around them fit into the connector still?
It will if you want it to. ;)
It takes a little work to get the pin back in, but it does.
Black green combo is excellent stuff!
Hi, how to remove 8 pin male connector, without special tools ?
NOICE! thanks for that Crys1s, im planning to use this colour scheme to match my IV Formula.
Evening chaps.
Been having some trouble with sleeving my HX1000w. Managed to sleeve the 20+4 pin connector without any trouble using the staple method. But for the life of me I can't unpin 6 of the 8 pin power connector or any of the PCI-E cables. I got 2 of the 8 pin connectors out without any hassle and sleeved them. Tried using smaller staples, 2 bent together, larger staples, paper clips, 2 tiny tiny screwdrivers and even a monstrously small spudger. Tried a variety of different tools to try and force the staples furter down but no avail. I don't want to apply any more force to pull it out, afraid it would snap.
Any ideas ? I'm close to buying the Nils's Pin Removal tool on MDPC-X.com but that would take ~10 days to get here and my HAF-X is sitting here looking at me angrily.
All suggestions are welcome and thanks for this great thread!
either pull it out and re-crimp it, buy frozenCPU's depinner, or buy the MDPC one. 10 days is worth the wait for the time and stress it will save you depinning your current and future PSUs.
Just placed my order with with Nils! Can't wait to get my sleeving. Some awesome pictures in this thread.
Nils' tool is highly recommended. It takes the pins out without messing up the two flaps either side of the pin.
Hi, people, can someone tell me where are the pins in 8 pin male connector which i had to push to pull out the wire?
Hmm. Then it is decided. Just ordered the MDPC-X tool. should arrive here on the 14th.Quote:

Nice pics dude, absoulately hotness ha, When sleeving the corsair 1000watt psu its quite difficult.. You wanna pull quite hard but make sure you are pulling them straight or you will depin them, i learnt the hard way hehe...
wohoo, grey and green - lovely combination :)
Thanks all! :)

Glad to hear it! :) If you would like any of these in wallpaper size just let me know. :up:
Jesus! That is THE best sleeving job ive ever seen. Pity You dont live in the UK cuz i could of sent you my hx1000 to do :D Its being a royal pita, well the modular cables are. Having to cut and re crimp them, waiting for my murdermod tools :)
Check out fhantastic and Xien's work to see perfection in sleeving. Fhantastic is in Germany and does sleeving jobs for people - you may want to hit him up. :)
I think Nils should rent xien or crys1s through mdpc....
Yeh ive seen phantastics and work on here, its top notch aswell.Quote:

So big thanks to Nils!!
Hey guys and gals, Has anyone tried this for sleeving?
That stuff looks interesting--it also looks like it would be a dust magnet. The trick would be to sleeve areas not affected by airflow.
yeah, interesting stuffQuote:

more pics for you, Nils

If the gpu would continue to have this subtle yellow black theme, it would look gorgeous!
The yellow n black sleeving would look kick ass on the old yellow gpu's, forgot was it zotac or palit.. either way nice work!
just received my mdpc-x sleeving kit today!!! i'm at work right now so i can't do work with the cables :[
good things to come tho!
nils-- as always, loved the personalized picture on the packaging :]
my parents were like "why the heck did you get a packaged from germany" -- had to explain that quality > convenience :] cheers!
I had to explain the same thing to my girlfriend. I have yet to order though, as my watercooling bits had priority over sleeving. The stock heatsink fan was driving me insane.Quote:

If you get a sleeving kit, make sure you get the ATX tool!!!! It was sooo much easier using the tool that Nils sends you > the crap you buy from other companies.
I will do business with this company in the future and would recommend it to anyone looking into sleeving some cables!
cheers
Thanks Nils i got sleeve today.
Let the pictures talk :D

Wow, the sleevings, gray and green will look great too! the perfect combination of colors!
I intend to do on my black and red, or black and orange
do any of you have guys experience sleeving Antec PSU's? I've having a HORRID time trying to get the pins out. I have a Antec CP1000 PSU that I need to sleeve and I can't get the 24-pin cable sleeved because I can't get the pins out of the connector. I was the atx pin remover in this: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11...tl=g44c133s256 but it didn't work at ALL. I decided to try a different atx pin remover that worked much better (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/38...tl=g44c133s257) I learned that the trick is to get the tool on the sides of the pin, PUSH IN the pin all the way, THEN insert the removal tool all the way to get the pin released. Worked everytime with the 8-pin cpu power, 6+2 pin pcie cables, but NOT the 24-pin ATX cable.
Can you guys advise what I should do?
24 pins generally acquire much more force, all i can really give you is push the pin to the front and at the same time put the tool in as far as it can go, Pull it with quite a bit of force, be sure to pull it straight and hard.. Should work..
Get one of those pin extractors from Nils, makes the job a hell of a lot easier. ;)
i've been sleeving with the SeaSonic X750 and the Nils tool has made it a 2-3 second process for each pin. I do struggle with my corsair 650hx, but the tool is fantastic
Does anybody here sell MDPC-X sleeved extension cables? Looking to get 24pin,8pin,2x8pin,2x6pin, in black/red. Or maybe refer me to somebody that sells these :)
I think you're violating the rules with this post, buying and selling outside the classified section is against the rules, as well as asking for it. ;)Quote:

nils tool! AWESOME! sry bad photography.. my camera phone -- this tool has done me wonders and made sleeving so much easier!
Anyone want to sleeve a PSU for me? I messaged multiple people and didnt get any responses.. will ship PSU to u and provide supplies if needed.. corsair hx850 black/red
Um... You'll have to pay good coin to get a member to sleeve. Sleeving a whole PSU will probably set you back around $150.00
Changing colors from blue/black or whatever from the other one I did for you?
Yeah.. had to get a new mobo and got a evga e760.. colors dont really go together anymore :mad:Quote:

Just a ballpark, I was thinking probably 30-40m total for the whole system.
30-40 meters is more then enough :)
You could always measure everything and add it up..Quote:

Hey, does any one know with certainty if the color coding on most high-end PSUs is accurate enough so that if I cut the 24 pin in half I could just match red with red, yellow with yellow etc and be fine?
Normally I label every wire but I'm pressed for time on this build...
*EDIT*
Meh. I'm just going to recrimp. Nil's tool is fast anyways. =D
so whats your guys tip about the shrink sleeving, how do you guys cut it so its all nice and exact same lenght as you shrink it?
i wish a have read your theat sooner, but any way:Quote:

Also, I wanted to note to those that are trying to sleeve the 24-pin mobo connector on Antec PSU's, it's pretty difficult to get those out.. The technique is the get your pin removal tool onto the sidewalls of the pin.. You then have to push IN the wire before you push in the wire removal tool.. after you've pushed in the wire as far as possible, push in the pin removal tool ALL the way.. Now, you can proceed in pulling out the wire you were trying to remove..
This technique helped most of the time in getting those square connectors out (6+2 pin pci-e, 20+4 pin mobo, 4+4 cpu).. Only experience truly teaches you how to do things.. be sure to give it a shot! Good luck!
What I need for sleeving 24pin, 8pin adn 6pin?
What size (mm) I need to 6pin, 8pin and 24pin?
