Do i cut this off?

[brandynmagers]

So atm i am sleaving my cables and i noticed that the cpu power connector is a bit different and I was wondering if i am suppose to sleave it or cut it off?

don't cut anything yet, post a pic and maybe we can better understand what it is you want to cut

Do you have a capacitor on it?

And could you post a pic for a better idea.

There.

There.

That picture is quite blurry, hate to ask, but could we get another one?

if you mean the silver connections, I'd just wrap with electrical tape.

What PSU do you have? Assuming it's anything half decent you can just cut it off (assuming we're talking about the capacitor here). Has been proven in the past that doing so have had absolutely no effect (by myself and others).

There.

 

Don't cut that off, it's what make the PSU have low ripple and reliable power, you can extended those wires on the capacitor and hide it behind the motherboard tray, that's usually what most people do for those or they heatshrink over the capacitor.

It will still work if you cut it off but I dont recommend doing that.

You can re-solder that capacitor to gpu board but if you dont know what you are doing than just leave it as is.

It reduces rippling and helps provide better voltage stability but if you don't have the shittiest PSU on the planet or extremely unreliable electricity this isn't an issue in the first place.

And how would this work in sleaving?

True it won't make it the death of the computer but will dampen the quality of the power supplied, I assume it's something like an Evga G2 PSU which have lots of those, it will make the PSU of a slightly lower quality as in the supplied power.

Here's one way of sleeving a capacitor on the PSU, you may need to do some cutting and soldering if you want to extend the wires to hide the capacitors.
