Custom Cables

[WayneKIng]

Hi everyone,

 

i have a ax760i and im looking to doing custom cables but i have no clue what i need like pin wise. so if you guys could help me by telling me what pins i need it would be amazing. 

 

What i am using:

24pin

8pin cpu

8pin gpu

6 + 2 pin gpu but only using the 6

2 sata power (using sperate ones for my hdd and ssd looks better in my case. will make a third one to run my h100 off)

 

so what pins and how many of each pin will i need to do my cables.

 

thanks for the help

1. add up all the numbers

2. multiply by 2

3. add up some extras in case something goes wrong

4. happy sleving

 

(all pins are the same)

but arent there male and female atx pins cause thats what i got confused on

but arent there male and female atx pins cause thats what i got confused on

the pins are the same, the plastic part is the factor that makes it male or female

[squirrl]

the pins are the same, the plastic part is the factor that makes it male or female

The pins are different. How is one going to fit into the other?

 

But it's kinda obvious how many are needed. Just look at the cables that are already there and count the number of them.

Check out the sleeving faq on OCN it will answer all of those questions and a ton more.

For a modular power supply, such as Corsair AX760i, pins on both ends are the same type, which are female pins.

 

AX760i uses

 

1) 10+14 pin on PSU side for motherboard 24 pin. We always use the term 24 pin because it has 24 circuit design, but it has only 23 pins crimped. That means a 24 pin cable for AX760i uses 47 pins; It is never a bad idea to have more at hands.

 

2) 6 pin for peripheral cables. It is a 6 pin housing but only 5 pins for SATA and 4 pins for Molex.

 

3) 8 pin CPU cable has 8 pins on PSU side, 4x12v + 4xGround. Nothing too special here.

 

4) 8 pin GPU cable has 7 pins on PSU side, 3x12v + 4xGround, but the other end is 2 x 6+2pin. It is a 2 in 1 on PSU side, so 8 on GPU side, and every wire is 2 in 1on this side. AX760i has 6 8 pin sockets on PSU side, which means, ideally, it can handle 2 CPU power cables, and 4 GPU cables. Unless you want to use 3-way SLI or Crossfire, you can make each GPU cable have only 2 connector on GPU side to avoid 2 in 1 wires; they are not easy to crimp or sleeve or solder.

 

All and all, here is a list of what you might need:

10 pin connector x 1 http://store.design4paragon.com/psu-10-pin-connector.html

14 pin connector x 1 http://store.design4paragon.com/psu-14-pin-connector.html

24 pin connector x 1 http://store.design4paragon.com/motherboard-24-pin-connector.html or http://store.design4paragon.com/motherboard-20-4-pin-connector.html

8 pin CPU connector x 4 (8 pin cables use 8 pin CPU/EPS connector on PSU side, so you need 2 for CPU cable, 1 for each GPU cable, so 4 in total) http://store.design4paragon.com/eps-8-%28cpu-8%29-pin-connector.html

8 pin GPU connector x 1 http://store.design4paragon.com/pci-e-8-pin-connector.html

6+2 pin GPU connector x1 (yes now you use only 6 pin, but maybe you will upgrade to a more powerful graphic card in the future that requires 2 8 pin connectors. Better have but not need than need but not have.) http://store.design4paragon.com/pci-e-6-2-pin-connector.html

6 pin PSU connector x 2 ( for 2 separate SATA cables) http://store.design4paragon.com/seasonic-6-pin-connector.html

SATA connector x 2

You have many options for SATA connector

http://store.design4paragon.com/sata-short-connector.html related pin http://store.design4paragon.com/sata-short-pin.html

ATX pin x 108 (10+14+24+8*4+8+6+2+6*2, but I would recommend to get at least 120 just in case you need a few to practice) http://store.design4paragon.com/atx-female-pin-short-prong.html

count how many 2 in 1 wires, and you might need that many of long prong pins to do 2 in 1 crimp http://store.design4paragon.com/atx-female-pin-long-prong.html or you can use short prong ones if you want to solder 2 in 1 wires.

 

Of course, you also need wire and sleeving.

We have mainly 3 types of wires:

http://store.design4paragon.com/wire.html

UL1007, which is the most commonly used for sleeving projects.

 

Silicon rubber wire, which is very soft and clean finish.

 

And my personal favorite, TEFLON coated silver plated wire. Clear insulation, shiny and no one has anything even close to its beauty.

 

Sleeving options we are currently providing is Paracord or PET.

Paracord can do a lot of things, and sleeving is the one that we care the most here. It has a lot of color as well as pattern options that you can choose from.

 

And PET, which is polyethylene terephthalate. It is stiffer than paracord and it is plastic.

 

I hope this is not too complicated. Please feel free to contact me on the forum or on our website if you have any question.

thank you!!! you are an absolute legend

What i am planning on doing is buying a fully modualr power supply the sleeving that, instead of buying wire and the connectors and pins... but then again i am building a computer from scratch so i dont have a power supply hat i could use anyway... if that makes sense
