bentleya, photo with fan connectors is brilliant - good for wallpaper

but I think you should tweak white balance on your camera a little when shooting blue sleeving because it looks too light and colorless IMO

anyway good shots

Anyone for more Photos

My first Sleeving with MDCP-X kit. Those Corsair PSU are serious pain to do... But with all the help from this topic, I got it finished

**ShadowFox19** · 10-04-2009, 10:57 AM

Could someone give me a rundown of the sizes of sleeving and heatshrink (3:1) for the following cables:
SATA Data
SATA Power Individual Sleeving
PSU Individual Sleeving
Fan Cables

This might be good information for the OP, because as of right now, it only says 1/8 sleeving for individual PSU sleeving and fan cables. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks in advance!

**DragoonXX** · 10-04-2009, 11:25 AM

SATA data cable (if you don't use MDPC-X) 3/8th inch works well, I can't remember off hand what heatshrink size I use (might be half inch)- but I'd reccomend grabbing glue lined
SATA Power individual (I assume you mean from the PSU) would be 1/8th inch as well
same with fans (although I use 1/4th inch, I like the black w/ red tracer, and its only in 1/4th inch)

**Baulten** · 10-04-2009, 04:47 PM

I used the SATA sleeving for the Power cables as well, it fit well and looked fine IMO.

I think accents of green with the black would look nice, goes with the card you have.

**dualbrain** · 10-06-2009, 01:08 AM

Thanks guys. All is good again. The heart-pump-clock was just out of rhythm

Too much OC for over two years maybe. But the heart is completely healthy and the doctors said that it can happen to anyone at anytime. Back on track. Now I just have one problem: I was wearing a little electrical device for 24 hours until now and it had three grey cables ... and I almost got sick again ... because THEY WERE NOT SLEEVED!!!!!!!!!!!

**slamz** · 10-06-2009, 01:16 AM

Glad to hear you're well Nils. Recieved my sleeve in the post this morning

and i love it! Thanks a million Nils

Shame my PSU is being RMA'd so i'm going to have to wait a week atleast to sleeve it

I fear i may need some more soon, so another order no doubt will be coming your way

Maybee you can get the contract to sleeve them all lmfao

**dingdong555** · 10-06-2009, 05:42 AM

haha, Nils, you should totally email the hospital about their cables! Tell them it makes them more safe for the patient

Hope all is well!
