Cable Sleeving Guide

Skittles Build .. feel the rainbow ?

It would look awesome, but mostly on the 24-pin wire.
I think I'll just stick with black, red and white.

Thanks guille

Crys1s_Gam3r, your pictures are a work of art

Is it just me, or when I visit the murdermod site, it gives me saying they are out of business, and when I finally enter the site, the sleeves are all out of stock . I would order from MDPC-X, but the shipping, and the currency transfer fees.

They are the same product except they now sell it only on MDPC-X.

Crys1s if you dont mind me asking what size sleeving and heatshrink did you use to sleeve that 6 pin as it looks very slick.

Quick question before i place my large order for wire and connectors.. At the place i'm gona order wires they sell only 18-26 gauge wire.. Now i've noticed on the P/S ATX connector they use alot of 16 ga mainly. Dont know if 16 is needed but will order it from another site if need be.. but before i do the question i have, will i beable to fit the heatshrink in the atx connector around the wire if i use 16 ga wire insted of 18???

Great pictures, but maybe just a bit more aperture to get more in focus?

[shawnoen]

Just a guess but maybe he doesn't have a proper macro lense and is doing something like using a reversing ring?

When I used to use a 35mm prime and Nikon BR-2A reversing ring my macro shots all looked like that.

has anyone come up with a solution for sleeving the antec TPQ1200 with its powercache caps? the stock "sleeve"(if you can even call it that) is utter crap.

I have got a question,

are there any difference in the content of the yellow and black cables after i taken them out from the pcie heads? Meaning, i can just use any colour cables as long they are fitted back correctly? Sounds a little confusing >.>

I believe the Yellow are your hot lines ( I think they are 12v, in PCIe) and black is your ground.... you can use any wire as long as it is the identical colour....

so all the black wires can be switched to go any place a black wire was.... and any yellow wire can go into a hole where a yellow wire was....

Hope that made sense and gave you a bit of understanding of how things work

Do the colours of the cables really matter? or they are just coloured so the psu manufacturers themselves won't get confuse?

no... they have capacitors inline on the pcie and cpu power cables. you cant remove them or the psu performs like crap.

Nope the wire is all the same...yeah, basically is to keep people from getting confused... so if you really needed to you could use it anywhere.... but if its plugged in at one end..... make sure its going into the corresponding hole

ha! i see. I already drew up all the position where the 24pins should go in my X650.

guess i can just take out every single one of them and sleeve it up without worrying which colour is which

EDIT: I found out i have a particularly thin red wire. Does it have to put back to the same original position or anywhere as long its in the same colour group position?

@Crys1s_Gam3r:
On your site: http://psychosleeve.com/order.html

It says $2.50 a wire...so if I wanted my power supply custom sleeved, would I ship it to you or would you just buy it yourself, and pay you for the price of the unit + sleeving + S&H? Do you sleeve anything or just PSU's?

Thx in advance

People need some help here.

Since that you're more PRO than i in this stuff i recently buy some atx, pci-e extensions already sleeved in black.

Well, i have a Corsair TX750W which have AWG 18 wires.

My atx and pci-e extensions have AWG 18 wires too but when i compared with my Corsair wires, my extensions wires is a little more thinner than Corsair with the same rated (AWG 18).

I believe that my extensions wires is likely AWG 20 because it's the same wires then we could find in some cheapers 400w PSu.

Did i have some kind of problem to use that?

PS: I don't wanna sleeve the Corsair PSU because in the future i can always change the PSU and keep my extensions with good look.

Thanks dctokyo

wraithien: I used MDPC-X SATA sleeve and heatshrink, and I believe some BIG heatshrink as well (comes with tubing-pack), for that 6pin

Shawnoen: Almost I use a macro extension tube with my 50mm 1.4

Baron Davis: Either way, whichever is most convenient for you. Email me at martin@psychosleeve.com to discuss further.

Sounds good Baron

Does anyone here from the USA have any of the Yellow MDPC small sleeving left over that they don't need? I only need about 8 to 10 feet of it which is way to little to order direct from Nils.
