I have the RM 650 and the cables for the 24 pin have a separate 10pin and 14 pin connector so that is what I ordered.

I havent started sleeving my cables because I am not sure how to handle the PCIE Gpu connector. I have the 970 G1 gaming that has an 8 pin and 6 pin. The corsair GPU cable has the the 8 pin cable with pig tails so there is only one 8 pin plug for the 6 pin and 8 pin in the PSU. Should I copy this setup or can I run a dedicated 6 pin cable?

As deviousguy said be sure to use a 10pin and 14 pin connector for the PSU end of the cable. Also be sure to make a pinout diagram so the cable design is what you want on both the mobo end and the PSU end, and to remember where the cables properly go.

 

 

And @deviousguy running separate 6 and 8 pin cables are a bit more convenient but also means more cables to manage. For the 8pin I suggesting doing the double wire splice method for the two extra ground wires:

@W-L man I have been looking at Lutr0s guides for that vid, thanks for showing me that. Funny because I started my sleeving on Sunday and I did a test double wire but wanted to see if I could just do separate ones. I am just going to do the double wires. 

 

 

@Rampiks This is my order on mainframe from April 10th. I ordered an extra connector for each so I could easily have them available for any other sleeving jobs. Make sure you order the terminals.
