    PSU Sleeving?

    Not quite sure where this goes, but it has to do with a liquid cooling build i'm planning, How are the quality of the PET sleeves sold at PPC, specifically the red ones, does it come close to say MDPC sleeves at all? :/ I'm looking for good red 1/8th sleeving.

    If it is standard PET then no it is not the same as the MDPC stuff as it is only a single weave sleeving as opposed to the MDPC sleeve which is triple weave.

    Having said that the red PET is not that bad an option if you cannot afford MDPC - here is a shot from my sleeving guide that uses standard PET (non UV red) - couple more pics in the guide.



    Hope this helps

    I like my MDPC sleeving. Here is the red sleeve. I just ordered some green sleeving for a friend's build. I have all black in mine.

    PET doesn't compare to MDPC sleeve at all. MDPC sleeve is much tighter. That said, matching sleeve and wire color is a passable alternative, provided you are keen to crimp your own wires.
