Hi everyone!
As you can se i'm new to the forum, and I wanted to ask a few things since i'm building my new rig. I have already modded (if it can be called that way) my Cosmos S awaiting for my new components. So here are the questions:
1) Should i go air or liquid?
2) If liquid single or dual loop?
3) I'm tempted to void my PSU warranty and try to make it look like the masterworks i've seen here, should I do it?
4) Of course I want the MDPC-X world famous sleeve to do a single braid in all the PSU cables, This one is for DualBrain i Think... Can the sleeve be sent to lets say... Costa Rica?
I think that all for now, i wanna thank all for their answers.
PD. Forgive my lame english, where I live we speak spanish so i dont have a lot of practice.
Might wanna start a new thread, but I'll answer anyway :)
1: Upto you, mostly budget, if you want/need the better temps (due to noise issues or wantin to oc) go for it. If you just want something cheap & effective go with air
2: Single most likely
3: If i could do my psu again, I'd just buy extensions for all the cables I needed for my psu and sleeve those:
-Cheaper (less sleeve), although price of the extension themselves might make that up
-Easier to sleeve
-Gives you time to sleeve (won't have to hurry up so you can use your rig, can sleeve the extension and still use your pc)
-Won't void your warrenty
-Don't have to worry about re-sale value of your psu decreasing (in case someone doesn't like the sleeving colors)
-Don't have to worry about re-sleeving your next psu
Just My opinion, save yourself the hassle and use extensions
4: I wouldn't doubt it could be sent there, I know they ship from germany to us/can so why not if you pay shipping? :)
Surely MDPC-X would send to Costa Rica, I've ordered once and I'm from Mexico City :). I'd just recommend you to really plan in advance the lengths of sleeving and heatshrink you'll need, and add some extra if possible. Shipping from Germany isn't exactly cheap so make the most from your order :)

I think that with the extensions I have I only need 6 x 6+2 pin PCI-E extensions so here is another question: How much sleeve and heatshrink will I need to sleeve the extensions (8 pin CPU, 24 pin mobo and the 6 pci-e), 10 fans, the sata cables (6) and the front panel cables (like 10)?
I want to apologize for my ultra noob questions... but I'm an ultra noob at this kind of things. =)
I bought the sleeving 'kit' from mdpc that has all the black heatshrink/sleeving you could need for a power supply, then I got 10meters of red sleeving for accents (red/black), I sleeved all of my hx1000 (with the exception of a few 4 pin cables and such I don't need) AND did extensions for my 24-pin and three 8-pins and I still have some left over.
Might just want to do a rough estimate, say your extensions are 12"
24pin + 8pinx6 + 10x24 (just rough est. for fans if they were 24" each), + front say 5*24
Is 693" of sleeving so say 700" to feet is: 58.3' which is about 17.8 meters
Then plus heatshrink & sata cable sleeving.
Since you have to buy in 10meter lengths, if you want to do two colors get one [10 meter] section of each, plus heatshrink and sata sleeving/shrink
ok ppl tell me what do you think of my work on my jack 6.5mm cables.

Dam i was going to do that color scheme :( now i will have to think a new one. Overall the price w/o the shipping for the stuff at MDPC-X is like 45 euro and with the shipping i think it will be more than half of my paycheck :ROTF: but its worth every single pennyQuote:

Comes out to about 102' or 31meters. I thought it sounded a bit low before haha
Trust me, I sold off my 4870x2 a month or so ago and every penny that i got for that went into sleeving. Yea it's quite the investment (which is why I said to go with extensions haha) but you'll love it.
So its 31 meters of small sleeve + 3 meters of small heatsrhink + i believe 5 meters of sata sleeve + 70cm of sata heatshrink... i wanted to do 3:1 black/red theme but the GPUs kind of screw it all... oh well nothing can be perfect =P
Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to buy extra though, I did my psu and had plenty left over, and loved it soo much I ended up sleeving my keyboard, mouse, headset, usb cables, etc...
Wow, i think i'll end up sleeving my cats :ROTF: anyway i'll buy the sleeve as soon as i can. So far thank you Dyn0miteMat for helping me out :up::up::up::up:
Hey guys, i'm new to the forums and i've got a question... Last night, I ordered a system sleeving kit from frozen CPU... I was wondering if it was going to be enough for my WHOLE PSU! The 4 pin, 6 pins, 8 pin, 24 pin, ect ect. Also, is this a single sleeve kit? like braiding or is it just around all the wires mumbo jumbo... I would love a response! Below is the link

^^^
Thanks guys!
This is what'll be sleeved
2x 6 Pin Single (plan on it atleast)
1x 8 Pin Single
1x 24 Pin Single
2x Sata Cable
1x Sata Power Cable (Possibly...)
Fans are already sleeved...
Depending on what i have, i might just sleeve what you can actually see. Other than that, thats pretty much it! :]
I got a kit off of frozencpu a few years ago (I don't think they have mono-sleeving kits) and it sucked, it looks alright I guess once its all done, but its fun trying to get the sleeving over 1 wire/pin let alone 24 at once haha
I was going to buy one of that kits, looked good on the pictures, but i preferred to ask the pros first rather than pay and regret after the job its done...
