Xien your stuff is always amazing

[darkage]

hello Xien
is this a extension?
asking because i see you don't sleeve the sense cable (orange/brown) it's not necessary?
great pics as allways

[Xien16]

It is a cable für the Silverstone Strider
I connected the sense cable inside the PSU to get rid of that doublecable...

[darkage]

ok
i see
have two silverstone psu also and sleeved the sense cable, but don´t look good
is it to dificult to connect it inside? only soldering?
thanks

[Xien16]

You have to pull out the connectors board, cut the circuit to the sensepin and solder a wire from the left circuit (not from the pin) to one orange connector.

Would be hard without soldering

[darkage]

yeah
hoping for something special "á lá Xien"
thanks for everything

heres some of my PCI-e connectors done. as you can see in the pics I still have A LOT of sleeving to do but this MDpcX sleeve is nice. its odd though the white is not showing through but the black is just a little. The Sleeve used in the larger diameter sections is Sidewinders sleeve. it doesnt expand as much as mdpcx but its nice sleeve as well. you can see in some that I cut some of the +2 pins off the 6 pins. I have no Idea why corsair didnt just simply use 8 pins these 6+2 pins suck and are hard to work with in general

It's the physics of flashlight and not enough "stretch" combined.

Hello guys, can You tell me how to sleeve this "adapter" from Scythe SQD-1000:



Thx

[karbonkid]

You can sleeve the SATA part as you would a normal SATA cable. For the power part, you could cut them near the connector, sleeve them individually and re-crimp them with a standard SATA or Molex power connector?

[wiretap]

Cut, sleeve, recrimp with this: http://www1.acryan.com/_connectx/ACR-CB8201.shtml

[dualbrain]

Cut, sleeve on, heatshrink on (but not shrinking yet), solder, sleeve stretch, shrinking also works. But then think about where to cut, so that the procedure works.

Got my mdpc-x sleve today

I'm wondering what heatshrink should I go with?
Black or uv-red

Thanks! I think it is the flash yes. because it doesnt look like that with normal looking. but I stretched it as much as I could without pulling the heatshrink away from the connector.

Some of these sleeve screen shots are just getting weirder and weirder... Sometimes I spend my time not looking at the quality and niceness of the picture, but the overall point of the picture. Like the Linux penguin with the sleeve coming outta it's ***, wtf? And the 24-pin connecting two boards makes my brain auto shut-down... w/o the reboot part. Nice pictures, but I like the old-school artsy wall-paper shots of the colors and weave more, like your last picture next to the block.

Please take no offense, just friendly criticism.

Just did my first 24pin. Turned out pretty good, i can see that with practice the heatshrink would look a bit better, but i can't complain.






Used Techflex PET' Sleeving from Performance PC's.

when you guys are pushing out the pins for the 24 pin what method do you use? I use the staple method and push out the pin with a screw driver. Although the method works the pins get bent in the process, is this okay? Is there anyway to prevent this too?

I had an ATX tool, but i found that the bent staple is the best. It shouldn't been the pins at all.

crys1s
is it possible for you to post a pic of grey together with grand blue?
i have sleeved my DA with black/grand blue but for my GD-80 i think grey/grand blue will look better ??
thanks

[3dchipset]

Hey Darkage, Crys1s posted a picture of the Grand Blue/Grey ... Here's his post with other color combinations as well.

Well, it's the sides that are being bent slightly inward, not the pin as a whole being bent. The ATX cable fit fine after the pins get bent inward slightly. I am just wondering if there will be issues or if it's totally fine.
