I'm going to be doing a full custom psu cable sleeving project soon and i read for cable extensions people make the inner cables roughly 3mm shorter than the outer cables to help them naturally curve with the pc routing holes and look much better. Since I'm going to be doing the entire power supply rather than just extensions I was wondering if anyone else has done this and shortened the inner cables the same way or if i should keep the same length throughout the entire cable. I'm doing this with the existing power supply cables to maintain the same length and reduce the amount of work that i need to do to complete this and reduce the downtime of my pc if i can. I am going to pick up some extra wire in case i mess up as well as extra terminals but any other tips from any cable sleeving veterans? I've watched both Jay's and Kyle's video about doing this and feel confident I can, but any advice is still valuable.

Please someone help, after trying to get nvidia drivers working and having to call nvidia support they made me update to windows 10 version 1607 and said that would fix all my problems and then the drivers would install correctly, well after literally waiting 9 hours for the update to download it installed and i let the computer restart itself to adhere the new update. After booting the computer the next time and everytime after that it freezes, stays at 100% cpu load, lags extremely bad, internet it less than half the speed it used to be and the problems keep coming. So i did a clean install of windows 10 again and the problem still persists. Everywhere i looked people say to roll back to 1511 that i had prior to the update, but when i try to roll back my system doesnt have any previous versions of windows at all, this is is even before i did a clean install again. What do i do??? my pc is literally useless and cant even open up the start menu without freezing. Clean install, no antivirus, no other programs at all only what comes with windows 6700k, gtx h100i cooler, gigabyte z270 mb and sandisk 120gb ssd

This is exactly what I did right before coming here and seeing your comment haha. I rolled it back to 1.2v and ran a stress test again to test stability and temps and i maxed out at 60c being what I seen most people get. Thank you though for reassuring my hunch i had. I think because its a z270 board and a 6700k it was designed for kaby lake being more power hungry cpus, at least from what I've heard, and defaulted to that. You sire, you are truly a tech wizard

They jump between 30 and 41 inconsistently I hope a fresh install of Windows helps

Possibly, I pulled it from the wall and don't think it helps its water cooled too so I don't understand why

I tried reapplying thermal paste 3 different times, I'm using cooler master high performance thermal compound

Im new to the forum, but i just upgraded my computer to have a 6700k and a gigabyte z270 k5 motherboard (already had the processor). But after firing up the build i noticed temps were higher than expected, im using a corsair gtx h100i and the included static pressure fans with the unit but seeing idles spike from 32 to 47c quite infrequently and when trying a stress test without an overclock i hit 90c within 5 seconds of the test. This is extremely alarming to me, so i tested a different cooler thinking it was the pump but still shot up there within seconds. Im very worried that theres something wrong here and the temps are far out of my comfort zone from my 3570k being around 45c at full load. Please help!! im going to try more and do more research on my own, but anyone else running into the same problems that fixed it would be a huge help. Im thinking of trying to go into the bios and tweek the cpu voltage to take it down thinking possibly theres too much voltage going to the cpu, but it shouldnt since its stock speeds out of the box. Please someone help.
