Also how did you sleeve the Semi-Modular PSU? I'm doing it with a CX750m and i don't know whether (I can't spell) to open the PSU and sleeve them that way?

Wow. I love the H60 Mod, you really mad that a work of art. I love the way you ran the tubing. But i personally would of gone with an entirely blue build, match the case and Mobo, Maybe a few white accents. Over all, LOVE IT!

thanks Froggyy0!!!  it took me several hours to get the tubing right where it will ran at the shortest way,and also did some wrong cut and wasted some tubing, when i first built my rig the plan was to on blue theme it all started to have some red when i had the ssd and gpu so i just mixed some red sleeving as well

sleeving the psu was a challenge, i had to decide whether to do it or not because of the warranty, but at the end of the day i ended sleeving it anyway, i just burned the tip of the sleeve just at the end of the pins, the melted sleeve is attached to the wires insulator so its not getting anywhere, thats why there are no shrink tubes on some of my connector...... hope it helps and push you to sleeve your psu......thanks again

yes,it was a tight fit, and i was able to close the psu case without any bending or deformation, perfectly tight to hold the sleeve and wires that it will not move or be pulled :lol:

I took the top cover off, then wrote the color coding of the wires form pin 1 to 24 on a piece of paper and started to sleeve wires one by one by removing each pin out from the connector, i had to write everything just to make sure, by the way i practiced using the 8 pin connector for the motherboard, then i started doing the 24 pins, i think it took me 4 hours doing just the 8 pins and the 24 pins.....

Great first build.  Awesome mod to the H60.

 

Thanks for sharing.

thanks Guppytech..

@AMD lover.. i ordered them..

 

@Morfy,same thing as i did on my psu, removed wires one by one from the sata connector then insert the sleeve, after that using a torch burn the tip of the sleeve until it melts and quickly pinch it, it will be attached to wires insulator,

Well, it looks so darn good for that method.
