Hey everybody! im about to outfit my evga supernova ex750g with some custom sleeved cables by hand, and since this is the first time ive done this i want to make sure im not about to make a mistake that can cost me hardware. anything important i need to know? does my psu have odd pinnouts? maybe some hidden cost i havent seen or thought of?

When in doubt, map what goes where on paper ahead of time. Documentation is boring but it can keep you from screwing up as you can pay attention while you're doing it, and then double check your work before powering on.
