In the process of sleeving the 12 pin motherboard cable and i notice there are capacitors on the motherboard end. Would like to no if they are necessary or if i can just simply just cut them off. Would like a reply asap thanks.

12 pin power connector? 

Capacitors being necessary?

 

1. No such thing.

2. why would they be there if they weren't necessary?

I meant 24 pin typo obviously. I think they are capacitors and iv heard these capacitors are primarily to act as a filter to take out any fluctuations in the DV voltage, but they aren't really necessary for normal operation. Thats why i want to no if i can cut them off.

Filter caps are very important. Not only will you take a missive risk cutting them off (To yourself and the system), you'll most definitely lose the warranty in the event that it will break (which it will). Just sleeve the cable and get out of there. For the best.

Even what may seem like a small fluctuation in voltage is pretty big to a component like a CPU or a GPU. Especially if you're overclocking. You want stable and clean voltage. Filter caps make the voltage stable and clean. You need them.
