PSU wiring order

notenoughtv

So I have a question. A PCIe 6pin connector has 3 black wires and 3 yellow wires. Does the position of let's say yellow wire #1 and yellow wire #2 matter or are they the same and don't.

I wonder because I'm sleeving my PSU and there is not a pattern I can see clearly on the yellow wires. The black ones are a bigger mess since there are 2 cables in 1 pin on the PSU end.

 

I hope I explained myself correctly.

 

I would like to change the order of some of the yellow wires so they don't cross each other

As long as there's a 12 V wire (yellow) where there's supposed to be one, it

shouldn't matter which one it is, same goes for the ground wires.

no they are all on the same bus.. the yellow 12+ and the 12v- are in a gang if wired

on a single rail. if single rail, yellow position on the plug is mute.. same for black.

just make sure the yellow and blacks are in original "plane"
