Hello ! I would like to mod my personal rig and I would like to begin with the cable of my modular psu. They are too long. Is it possible to make my homemade psu cable ? Or can I just make them look better with a custom sleeving ? Thank you.

So I am about to start my first sleeving project soon (1-2 weeks) I have been watching all of Lutroo's videos and many other's videos on youtube over and over again to make sure to drill the procedure and method of sleeving in my head, and I feel pretty confident about it now. However I don't have any money to buy one of the ATX pin removal tools :c Mum gave me $600 for christmas which I used on my computer and buy some upgrades and I wouldn't want to ask her to give me some more for she would get mad ($600 is a lot of money ._.) So i was wondering what is the best way to remove the pins without having to use the tool? All help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advanced AUD stores only please

I'm in the process of upgrading my current PC and have seen a lot of people are doing custom sleeving. I was just wondering where I could learn to do this? Does Linus have a video? Newegg? And what type of sleeving is best? Just the plan rubber stuff you can get at any hardware store, or the nicer braided colors that really accent your build. This will be my third build. If you think sleeving is a little too advanced at this point let me know. Thanks Linus Community for all your help! Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Hi guys, I'm planning to make a build pretty soon (already have most of the parts) and the theme is going to be gold and black. I have an Asus Z87-A motherboard, and some gold vengeance RAM (not vengeance pro, the gold is darker on mine). I want to sleeve ALL my cables and i'm not sure what colors to go with. Here are some options I was thinking of: All gold All black (kinda simple/boring but very nice and clean) Gold and black (alternating) Black, gray, and gold (alternating, might have to make some changes for the 8-pin power) Any ideas or suggestions would help. I also would like any tips on coloring my fans and the IO brackets. Thanks in advance.

BBR4 - Hackintosh By Tommy-b-10 So I only got into custom PC's at the start of 2013, and began this build around August. I started with the goal of building an all round computer that will last me for a few good years, whilst running both Windows and Mac OSX. The parts guide on the tonymacx86.com website were extremely handy in the planning. Parts Red is for unpurchased items Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H This board was the best board I could find that supported the OSX platform, and didnt cost a butt tonne CPU: Intel i7 3770k @4.5GHz and 1.13V May as well spend and extra $100 and get the i7 than the i5. Even though I probably wont be doing any heavy editing or rendering, its nice to know I still have the options. Graphics Card: Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB 4GB will be needed to drive 1440p well. Storage: 1x Samsung Evo 250GB SSD 2x Seagate 1TB HDD I'm using the SSD partitioned into 2x 125GB partitions for the OS's, one 1TB for storage and the other as a backup drive Ram: 16GB 1600MHz GSkill Matches the colour scheme, and I find myself using the full 8GB on my current PC Case: Fractal Design R4 Black with Window Loved the front of it, and the build quality is outstanding. PSU: Silverstone Strider Plus 600W Perfect size and is fully modular CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i I wanted to be able to OC my CPU, and figured why not. The LED on the middle is perfect with the colour scheme. Also using Noctua NF-F12's to cool the rad as the H100i stock ones were too loud. Fans: 4x Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition Using as 3 intake and one exhaust. Sleeving: MDPC-X Black and Aquamarine Blue Beautiful and Cheap. Nil's does a really good job! Mouse: Func MS-3 Ever since Linus's ad for this, i have really wanted it. I like to Palm my mouse, and I have relatively large hands. Keyboard: Apple Numeric Keyboard I know people hate membrane keyboards, but I love the one on my MacBook Pro, and I prefer the numeric keyboard version. Monitor: Asus PB278Q I just love the look of the monitor. Its 27" 2560x1440 and looks amazing. Whilst its expensive, its one of the cheaper 1440p ones out there. (excluding korean) Photos Excuse the photos. Most of them are taken on a shocking old point and shoot, and the rest are iphone quality The place I purchased the case from only had the non windowed version, so I picked up a window online for $50 Package from PCCaseGear. Accidentally ordered 2 Fan twin packs. Turns out I needed them though so alls good All of the boxes for the first order Amazing case! w/o window w/ window. So much nicer. Insides SP120's installed in the front. More Soon!

What is the point of replacing the connectors when sleeving rather than keeping the original power supply connectors? Thanks

i always wanted to individually sleeve my pci-e and 24pin cables. but i have a non modular power supply, i was wondering if it was possible for me to do this. i know i could buy extensions ,but i want to do it myself. if it is possible, what do i need, and where can i get it? i am new to sleeving

Hi, With the 24 pin cable, how would you fix the other end inside the PSU itself. I'm ok with sleeving the pin end, but i dont know the best way to secure the other end of the Paracord. My PSU is a Corsair CX600M. Thanks

Hello all, couples questions. I recently looked into buying some sleeved extensions(cheaper than who cables), and i was curious on which ones i need to buy. Newegg has a brand called silverstone and they have some fantastic extensions. My only dillema is which ones do i need? and also would anyone mind teaching me how to pick them out. Thanks- Here's my part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1LbFT Here are the extensions im talking about: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=Silverstone+extensions+&N=-1&isNodeId=1

Hi guys, [insert Title] I ask this because I am curious as I think it would look pretty cool. Although, I figure a possible reason people would not want to do it is so that when the wires bend, the heatshrink doesn't tear or crease, or wtv. Just curious. Thanks, Vitalius

What diameter of sleeving should I be using for single sleeved PSU cables, SATA cables, fans, front I/O, flat cables, etc. THX!

Are their any repercussions of wrapping psu/ Pci wires in electrical tape? don't have a fully modular PSU and hate the odd look of the cables that just stand out, so i'm thinking about covering them in white electrical tape. Since it's non-conductive it should work out fine right?

Hey guys, I've just finished sleeving my first ever cable. I was hoping that you could tell me how you think I did and what I can improve on. I used a heatshrinkless paracord method that I learned from Lutro0 customs. The quality of the pictures isn't brilliant as my camera is pretty bad, but I did the best that I could. EDIT: Here's the video for it.

Hey guys. I have finally received the sleeving from my sponsor Axon Modding (www.axonmodding.com). He sent over his new MX-2 sleeving and as fake as this might sound, it is the easiest sleeving I have ever worked with. Here is a picture of my first modular cable that I sleeved yesterday. I think it looks good for what it is but I have a bit of a dilemma. What can I use to keep the cables together? I've seen people sew them together or zip tie them. Is there another good looking way? This is the 6-pin connector going into my GPU. I think it looks pretty damn good This is the connector that goes into the PSU's modular interface. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before anyone get's a wrong idea. The sleeving is slightly thicker than what I worked with before but it's an advantage. It makes things a hell of a lot easier and looks great too. I mentioned that it won't fit into the very end of the connector in the comments section but that is due to my connectors being smaller than usual. I hope nobody got the wrong idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone, I'm considering sleeving my AX860 PSU and have already run into some problems before even buying the sleeving. My PSU seems to have lots of double wires, making it tricky but not impossible. My problem is that I only have two single 6+2 pin PICe cables, so I can only connect one graphics card through those. The other PCIe cables are double 6+2 pin cables, which look horrible when plugged because of the extra cable loop between them. I was wondering if it's possible to remove one of the 6+2 pins and convert it into a single one? Or is that too dangerous and just a stupid idea? - I know you can buy Corsair's own sleeved set, but I think that the white ones just look like white cables rather than being sleeved. It's also cheaper to just do it with paracord.

I am looking at supplies for doing some custom cables and in the process of doing so I have found some aftermarket connectors that are colored to match the sleeve, but they have wings that I think are unnecessary. I was wondering why are the wings there, are they for extensions. Also, who sells some good connectors that aren't black, don't have wings, and are not transparent. A lot to ask for, but I appreciate it.

Ok, I may be new at at sleeving but I am diving head first into it thanks to the help of everyone here and Overclocked.net with a special thanks to @lutro0customs and his great work he has done as well as @WildTurtle for being so willing to answer any questions I have had. I have gathered about a page of information regarding price per M, diameter, and bit more, but I am missing one thing. Do any of you know the diameter for MDPC sleeve? ALmost every other brand of sleeve is 4mm so I am assuming they may have simply conformed to MDPC. Any help would be great because this is important for matching brands together to make a set of cables match to your desired color palate.

I am wondering how I can tell if a power supply is good to make custom sleeved cables for. I know very little, but what I do know is that you want there to be no/as few double cables as possible. I was wondering if there are any power supplies by Seasonic that are good to do cables for. I do not know if power supplies exist where it is just one cable per pin for the entire 24 pin connector. I do not know much about how this all works so please give me some references about pinning and anything you think is helpful about power supplies (even if it about electrical more than sleeving). I was looking at getting this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151120 Plus I have a AX850 power supply in one of my current builds that I want to sleeve. Last thing, I would like to know more about the pins and all of the connections to do with the electrical side of the unit, so any references or places to start learning would be cool.

So I have just recently purchased a corsair GS600 power supply and I have now decided that I want to go and individually sleeve all of the cables. I intend to individually sleeve all of the cables with red tightly braided sleeving as I'm going for a red and black theme. My motherboard is black ( gigabyte z87-hd3) and my ram ( corsair vengeance lp) is also black and I intend on purchasing some red lighting for my case which is a Corsair vengeance C70 in gunmetal black. To top it all off I will buy a GPU using the Direct cuII cooler from asus since it matches the colour scheme. Here is the problem though: After getting measurements of all of the cables I calculated that I would need to order 43 meters of sleeving which to me seems just a tad excessive. Could some one please tell me if I'm doing my calculations wrong? The lengths of the cables are as follows:-24 pin atx = 55 cm - 1x8pin CPU power = 65cm - 2x 6+2 pin pci-e power = 65 cm each - 2x sata cables with 3 connectors per cable = 61cm (each cable consists of 5 wires) - 2x molex cables with 4 connectors per cable = 75 cm (each cable consisting of 4 wires) Also any tips on doing sleeving is welcome, thank you This is my first brand new pc build but I have made pcs's numerous times before using 2nd hand parts for my father and sister as "Internet boxes", I've never made a fully fledged gaming machine before but I'm willing to go all out to make this something I can look at and be proud knowing that it is MY custom pc.
