Usually it's the typical 18 awg wire.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but if I'm making an extension for my Corsair 750HX; wouldn't I run the wires from ports 1 to 1, 2 to 2 on the new connectors? No cris-crossing at all?

Thanks,

Yes, that's correct. When creating extensions. It's 1 to 1 and 2 to 2, etc... Because you're in theory just extending the ends of the current cable longer. :-)

Hi, sorry if this has being posted before, but how do you sleeve SATA power cables that terminate like this?

[Polizei]

Get a small flat blade screwdriver... almost small enough for working on eye glasses. Put the connector down on the desk like that, and use the screwdriver to pop up the black tabs holding the pins in. The hinge of the tab is at the back of the connector, and the front of the tab is towards the front where you can see the metal of the pins poking through.

Yo guys.

I'm going to try some different sleeve, using this silk cord.
until my thermo shrink arrives, I'll get the ideas of the business.

Can someone post pics of the 24p/8p near the origin? I mean, entering the PSU.....
and tell me about the diameter on the MDPC sleeves....

the cord.... I stumbled upon this while looking for pure white ones.... And liked the color scheme....
looks thick, but it's just 2.6mm thick, with a removable filling string......

[Polizei]

Hey Crys1s_Gam3r, could you do me a favor next time you're sleeving something? Could you take a picture of the sleeving end in relation to the pin, and also where the heatshrink is in relation to the pin before shrinking? How long are the pieces of heatshrink you use?

I tried to get it uniform like that when I did mine, but it never worked out, and I could never figure out where to put the sleeving in relation to the end of the pin and where to put the heatshrink.

[LogAn'sRun]

Do you still have to tape the wires in white EL tape to get it this white? Or is the new sleeving that good?

[PropherCR]

Wow the red and white sleeving its just stunning... i think i'm going to buy some hehe!! Excelent job Crys1s_Gam3r!!!!

[Junimrox]

I haven't read anything here or anywhere else and bought the ty sleeving from performance-pcs, that ends up being paracord with the interior removed, something I already had here about 100 feet. Kinda pissed off, but it was very cheap. The bad thnig about paracord is it doesn't expand so sometimes it's a pain in the ass to pass through some connectors. it looks good but it doesn't stick to the heatshrink, does anyone know how to shrink it some way the cord doesn't slip off?

[NFC]

Not quite sure what you mean, but I usually put a drop of Loctite Gel at the terminals that I shrink.

[miptzi]

there are some shrinks that use an internal glue, something called "hotmelt"
I dont know if ALL shrinks have that,....

[Xien16]

Most don't have that (even more expensive)
And I hate it... It is good to keep things together but hard to remove...
