Good tutorial.


I did the same to my semi modular gigabyte psu 10 years ago using sleeving supplies from MDPC-X, it took me about three days on and off to completely rewire, including replace, re-crimp all the connectors.


I also did the same as you did using two layers of bigger sleeve to bundle the wires together from out of the PSU housing then sleeved the singles as per normal but instead of using a cable tie to secure the bigger sleeving in place, I used bigger size heat shrink around that area for a cleaner look.

Will I ever do this? Not a damn chance lol, but it was super entertaining to watch like always!

[scarmenl]

You have convinced me that if I ever want something like this I will get the pros to do it for me!

I have got a "fully" nonmoduler PSU and I've bought everything for sleeving 3 months ago (I had all the tools, Paracord, elastic sleeve). However, I cannot make myself to start the sleeving work :D

Although this is a couple years late, use the heat gun on the heat shrink. It is not only easier, you also don't burn you fingers and don't discolour the heat shrink.

You did a pretty good job, don't worry the process gets way easier with practice, I did this exact type of thing back when I built flight simulators. Only multiply the length, numbers of cables, and complexity by about a factor of 100. I'd throw on my headphones, and just power through. should be able to do everything within a couple of hours, modular supplies about 90 min.

This has inspired me to do this on my new build, it will be a couple of months but I'll defiantly do a video on it !

[gurindiadventures]

I usually put a second layer of tape over the labels, then remove the top layer after painting to reveal where they go!

you should add a wire wrap (for cable management) Paul's Hardware

use hot air blower soldering station for heat shrinking the tube

Tedious, so so tedious... The closest thing I ever did to this was extend the 24pin connector because it wouldn't reach the socket. (It was the first bottom mounted case I ever got but an older psu with short cables.) So that's 24 snips 48 couplers and 96 crimps. Needless to say, after doing all that I really should have just bought a new psu with longer cables. I cant imagine tackling the job you did. That's just too insane! Wow!

[digitaltactics]

Nice work it's like maddening fun difficult but once its done right looks awesome

[TomDaGunnr]

You did it Paul and I am proud of you :)

[Arek_R.]

Lol i also cut my finger by these smaller wings when extracting pin from connector ;p
Good job Paul!

Get a heat shrink gun before condomizing the amperages

[blacksteel]

I sleeved cables once.. won't do it again.. totally worth it get some other company to do it

[EvonOSmith]

With regard to the sleeving of the PSU cables, what did you with the end of the sleeve closest to the PSU? It's clear what you did at the pin end but not at the other end.

[pietroaretino]

Is there a way to test the PSU connectors to make sure one didn't screw up, prior to plugging it into your mobo/components?

[OptimuSekac]

So if i get this right, wire coming form one pin on psu side doesn't go into the same pin on the other side? So my question is why and is it a standard, so the wire always has the same route? For example wire coming from first pin always ends up in fourth pin on the 24-pin connector, etc.
P.S. Maybe there is answer in the video, but i didn't watch it whole.
