PSU Custom Sleeving HELP!

[bryannahangman]

Hey feloow LinusTech forumers!

Today I got a new power supply and I'm planning to sleeve it. However due to my limited research, I didn't look into if the wires were easy to sleeve or not.

My problem is that some of the wires have these bumps in the heat shrink. I was wondering what they are and if they are double wire things. If this is a double wire than how do I sleeve it? I already went on evga and got the mir so I cant return it. All help is much appreciated.

Oh and this is the motherboard cable.

Remove it? That the current sleeving, heatshrink, and it looks like a tyewrap.

I believe the bumps are zip ties.

 

If you're going to be doing custom sleeving, you can carefully clip those off. You will need to eventually anyways if you're going individually sleeved.

But yes inorder to individually sleeve it he would have to remove all that which I mentioned which isn't a problem in the least.

Is it against CoC? Sorry I'll edit it. Sometimes people don't know they have answers unless you quote them because they don't follow the threads they make.

You can mention them like this @Builder  or snip their post.

Can you cut the heat shrink off so we can see what's under there?

Can you update us, I want to see how this turns out as I was planning on buying that PSU and also sleeving it.

Can I ask how you are planning on sleeving it? Are you going to use heatshrink or just melt the sleeve, what sleeve are you using and stuff like that.

 

When I sleeved my computer, I found that paracord was the cheapest and best-looking way of doing it. This also meant that I didn't have to use heatshrink on the connectors to the components which has a cool look.

 

If you haven't already got the sleeving to do it, I suggest researching this method as I think the results are better than some of the specific solutions you can get.

It is a capacitor. I have the evga 1300w and they have capacitors on them. I found a guy on OCN who did a guide to sleeving their PSU's. Here is the link

thx monty for the link. Arduous Formula im gonna use sleeving by lutro0 from FrozenCpu since its so much cheaper than dazmode (i'm canadian). I'm still thinking whether I should use heatshrink or not. Which would you reccomend for first timers? And also how do I quote a poste lawl

AirKing if you aare going to sleeve it then I wouldnt recommend this powersupply because pretty much every cable has a capacitator. i would've gone back to NCIX to exchange it for something easier but I already sent the mail in rebate to EVGA. However I'll till update this post as we go along.

Update 1: WTF! 

I intstalled the new power supply in my current rig and I dont get any vide output! The fans are all on but theres no video output. I double checked for anything not plugged in and theres nothing. Currently I'm putting back my old one (CX-500M) to see if it works. If that woks I think my EVGA psu is probably defected.
