Sleeving cables is the one thing that I outsource when building a system. It's a huge amount of work with 85% of the result being invisible. Probs to the guys who go through this, you da real MVP :)
I'm watching this in 2018 and am learning a LOT. This is by far the most comprehensive and thorough beginner's guide in youtube on custom sleeving. Thank you.
I'm a car audio cable guy, and now I'm moving my PC to an open DIY custom wall mount so I am grateful for your cable video.. My weakness is the plugs, what to call them, and where to get them. Making it match my office theme is important (I'm old so it'll be more of a vintage library vibe - I'm not a gamer).
This is probably the most informative video I have ever fucking seen. This is amazing, I’m just getting started sleeving And this gave me all the info that I needed to get started. It’s very thorough and exhaustive and your manner of delivery is outstanding. Thank you so much. Another subscriber.
Thank you so much for this! I've sleeved a bunch of cable extensions for myself and friends, but never was really happy with the results. I'm in it to win it now, going to buy the right stuff, and follow these tutorials!
Great stuff and a real service. Get a Hakko 936 on auction. The entire electronic part is $10. So it is risk free. I use a hot air station designed for SMD work because I can control the temperature for shrink tubing. For training wire, the filament count is key. There are three standard versions from limp "boat cable" to stiff thhn with as low as 14 strands at 14 AWG. Electric (not electronic or computer) suppliers can get you anything at 1/3 the cost that custom cable houses charge. There is no reason you can't get trainable wire as low as 18 AWG. But, you know, it is actually all about look and feel anyway. I had a guy force me to restring his whole box with 10 AWG 300 degree cloth and silicone insulation just because. $900 in wire.
Brilliant , just what im getting into now for my own build. Looking forward to the rest. Hopefully an advanced overclocking tutorial with the Rampage board would be very welcoming. Also a big , big big congratulations too.
im going to be doing full custom cables on my new rig. But have a question. Can you do the cables for a few inches and then do extensions. As that way it be easy to do new cables if i was the change colours and not have to worry about the pin layout on the new extensions.
Thanks for the guide! I'm trying to figure out which pin type I need for full replacement cables. At 20:49 you say the extension connectors are "male". This makes me think the standard connectors on either end of the cables would be "female". Is that right? And would I then use "female" pins inside those standard ATX connectors?
In what case would one need to extend a single SATA cable beyond the connector? I've never seen, or heard of for that matter, a cable with multiple connector opposed to a singular terminating connector. Would it be used for setups similar to RAIDs or some other application?
Yeah, I got a build that requires six 8 pin cpu power cables. I have a 1600 watt rosewell power supply with eight 8 pin pcie slots and two 8 pin cpu slots. I don’t feel like modding the power supply. I’d rather make some custom wires. So, I guess I’m gonna have to open up the power supply to see if there are any pins sharing the same wire.
MDCP-X crimpers are IWISS crimpers, with the two rear jaws milled out a little... DO NOT buy them... you can buy 3 IWISS or something similar for the same price... they even SMELL the same. Pin removers... are just standard molex brand pin removers... just buy the molex ones.. they are literally the same thing but way less money.
@@andyyang2333 Sure! I do not want to take money out of these guys mouths, I did a short video on this on my channcel which show them side by side. Comment on there and I will link you.
Can anyone give me the exact specifications for the Crimpers? I'm here in Japan, while the mdpc-x are kinda available, they are too expensive. I'm going out to look at some local shops if I can get one.
Do you still use the SN-28B crimper? Because I have one and it says it's for 28-18 AWG, but you said you use 16 AWG wire. Does it still work for the 16 AWG wire/pins?
Great videos. I was hoping you would make more of these tutorial videos and even go into more in depth detail. I am a complete noob/beginner and looking to find info on female/male pins and corresponding female/male connector. Also where does each cable go in the connectors. I see "make a diagram" or "check pinout" diagram....like to see it explained like you are telling a completely beginner. I know pinout info is important since it could mess up hardware. Thanks
You say that cable extensions and modifying existing OE cables is pointless... but here's the point and its a big one. Wait for it.... COST! The almighty dollar. Was really hoping to learn how to mod my existing cables with just custom colored sleeving. That would be worth while if the cost is minimal.
Awesome guide. I know your website sells wire by the meter but Im going to need alot of it, Anyone know where I can buy 16AWG wire by the roll in Australia?
Hey Daniel, Great Job man, you are really dominating the water cooling field, i believe you have inspired lots of not only beginner but enthusiasts as well, i have just finished my water cooling build but without doing the custom cables since i was really waiting to see information regarding that, I've visited your website to order some material to start the custom wiring for my build however, i couldn't find the Crimper in there. even in your video description you haven't put a link for it as you've done for the other components, please let me know if the Crimper is available in your store or from where i can order a high quality Crimper, thanks
Thank You, Thank You Very Much.. Your Info Was Very Educational.. When I'm Ready To Do My Own Cable Mod's.. I Know What Video To Look At Again.. I Do Believe You Are The First One.. That I Have Seen Talk About.. Changing The Wires Of Your Fans.. Most People Just Want To Paint The Fans.. But You Say You Can Also Change The Wires.. Than You Can Have A.. One Of The Kind Gaming Rig.. Awesomeness Hands Down.. Keep Up The Great Work.. *{MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, - ALWAYS}...
Great video cleared a lot of things up! Thank you! Just one question how many HDD/SSD can u power with a single cable, with many 90* connectors, without risking to damaging the drives or not getting enough power to them?
quick question, i have a power supply that has caps/capacitors at the start of the cables (evga 1200p2), what do i do with the caps if i want to custom wire???
they use it to reduce the ripple, if you remove it I think youre gonna be fine, companies like cablemod I think that doesn't use it in evga psu, but in corsairs do so I think that doesn't matter too much in your case. But if I you want and probably that's what I will do in your case desolder it or find new ones and put it in the middle of the cable or where it's gonna be hidden.
i dont think the ax1200i does, im not sure, i know the rmi and rmx power supplys do, but they are corsairs latest psu's i think. cheak to see if you have large-ish caps in the heat shrink at the ends of the cables, they are very noticable :)
Have been watching your vids all afternoon, I am looking to get into modding big time, and you've hit every nail on it's head with your SC mod series and this. The problem I'm having with custom wiring is ordering some of the parts, like low profile USB 3.0 Internal female header. I use an ASUS ROG Front Base in my case, and sadly ASUS have only 1 USB 2.0 port on boards now, which is shared with the ROG_EXT port. I ordered some cables from China that have split the cable from the ROG Front Base, so that the USB portion can go to an internal hub. I am wanting to make USB cables, rewire F_Panel, the lot. I feel now that I can move on with my project however, and even after a browse of your store, I still can't find some of the parts I need. Something I'd be interested to learn is, say you're using only 17/20 pins, how to block the unused in a cable. I have an idea in my head for making wiring harnesses for computers, case/mobo/psu specific. Thanks for going to the detail that you have as I can now go and confidently obtain most of my parts... Just that damn internal USB 3.0... The female 2.0mm Dupont is driving me crazy. Can't find them on ebay from China, and it's looking to be over $2 each plus postage from the USA... Help me if you can? :D
If you don't want to buy new cables, reworking stock cables is a perfectly fine option if they do what you need them to, length is satisfactory, and the parts are suitable for what you're doing. You're gonna need a pin extractor anyway. Just make sure to get the pinout right - document, label and limit how many you work on at a time.
The stock cables are usually 18 gauge or lower though. Personally I think the 15 AWG looks fuller and overall better when up in a bunch. And as you are usually doing cable mods for the looks and investing in sleeving anyways, cable is not that expansive (like 20$ for 30m) and it even boost overall electric conductivity by increasing the diameter of the cable.
How do you sleeve a cable that has one cable splitting into two pinouts. Or one pinout has an extra cable that goes to another. I see that you already mentioned it in this video, but can you explain to us in detail on how to do it in one of the parts? And what to do when you have a 2x 6+2 cables coming from a single 8 pin from the PSU Always learned a lot from your videos. Keep this up.
I use the method where you split the insulation open on the "main" wire, thread the second wire through the split and solder them together. You then apply sleeving individually to the three parts and have them meet at the split. Heatshrink the whole thing up and done. I did it to replace wiring on a Corsair 550RM. i.imgur.com/zJQeso9.jpg This is the final product.
It really was trippy how you were referring to the "Male" connectors but they get plugged into. It took me a while to realise that the actual pin inside a female connector is female not the connector (casing) itself.
awesomesauce !! anyone willing to help me out with a short list of mouser part numbers or manufacturer part numbers for each of the different model pins?
I have a non modular PSU, it has some old molex conectors that I dont need, is it safe to cut them off to a minimum lenght and just put a female conector there and covert the cut cable into and extention in case is needed in the future??? has anyone try that?? it think if viable would be a great modification for us poor suckers stuck with a non modular PSU, should i give it a try??
7 лет назад+2
It should be safe, afterall, it's just a shorter cable
MDPC-X hasnt had them for a while, I will have them as soon as they do. For now Im using the best crimper I have ever used which you can find here: www.icemodz.eu/store/#!/Good-Crimping-tool/p/32431920
Depends on what you are going to sleeve and what length. for the 24, EPS, 2 PCI-E and sata at about 60 cm you are going to need about 45 like Carlsson said. Easiest way to know is just to calculate how many wire are going to be sleeved multiplied by the length you need. So 8 pin PCI-E is 8 times 60 cm(for example) = 4.8 meters. Just calculate the length you need and the rest is easy.
I dont quite understand any of this. Like almost anything Could you guys good people provide me link that has full information about it? Even just keyword for Googling would be much appreciated I really like to learn Thanks

+Simplistic Modz depends on where are you from cuz, you can always get it from their partners if the shipping cost too much for you or just contact him systems@singularitycomputers.com daniel is very friendly and Incredibly helpful. I'm sure he can help you if you have any issues. he has help me a lot with my noob question.
Your computer/laptop or whatever could have a problem with 1080p 60fps. My Netbook for example has that exact problem, the cpu just can't handle it. On my desktop Pc I have no problems whatsoever. But video drivers could be the reason as well.
Cablemods cables, at least the ready kits look AWFUL imo, the wires look anemic and the black|color|black style looks real bad. Custom cables all the way! not to mention MDPC-X sleeve is amazing and looks way better than their paracord.
Itay Levy I'd have to look into it, been using cable mod for 2 years, now building new rigs. Really like their cables feel in the hand, I can't stand plastic feeling sleeve.
Forget about the feeling when you hold them, it's all about the looks, cause you don't hold it much but you do look at it. I'm not saying paracord doesn't look good, take Ensourced for example, his paracord looks great. Just look at other sleevers work before you go on with Cablemod again.
why mod your case, when you can buy a pre modded one? Well for one, its a fun project sleeving by yourself, and in the end you are proud of your work. Then you can also sleeve each single cable strand to the length you want. No considering the time put into sleeving yourself, it is also cheaper. And from what I have seen online the cablemod sleeving job looks god aweful if you dont choose the pro option. And I find it weird that you have to pay a premium for them to do thheir job right.
I found those crimpers. They're Glarks (less than $20): www.amazon.com/Glarks-Terminal-Professional-Crimping-0-1-1-0mm2/dp/B06VWLW11G That torch, however, might be good, but it's waaay overpriced. I have a torch with adjustable flow and it's /very/ precise. Can adjust the flame down to where it's a pin-point or open it up and it's about the size of a pencil erasure. Been using it for 3 years. Got it for $8 from a local gas station. I modified it by adding 3 layers of steel mesh press fitted into a steel thimble with a hole drilled into the bottom of it to allow the heat out through the mesh. The thimble just so happened to press fit perfectly onto the end of the little torch. Works just like yours.
There are many copies of them and Ive tried a bunch which I wasnt happy with. I have an Iwiss pair which are similar and another blue pair, both are no good though. I think its the jaw shape.
Ahh, I just searched for SN-28B. The model number on the handle. But even looking at the picture and the close-up of yours, the little heart shapes don't look as severe on the ones on Amazon. I'd imagine that's what makes them work so well to get a reliable crimp.
I found them. The blank blue handles (no logos) and the severe looking "pointy" die set in the jaw. The closeup on the jaw looks exactly like yours. www.amazon.com/Haicable-SN-28B-0-1-1-0mm2-Terminals-Wire-electrode/dp/B00WU3WI7I/ref=sr_1_6?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1514939049&sr=1-6&keywords=SN-28B+Pin+Crimping+Tool+2.54Mm+3.96Mm+28-18Awg I believe this is actually the pair you have, but they're pricey considering, and the ones above have the same die set in them ^: www.amazon.com/Crimping-28-18Awg-0-1-1-0Mm2-Terminals-Wire-Electrode/dp/B078KZGD6K/ref=sr_1_45?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1514938810&sr=1-45&keywords=SN-28B I think the main thing that makes them work well is that the die set comes to a sharp point instead of a rounded one. It makes the terminal dig into the shielding.
Hey Daniel, 7 years later this is without a doubt the best guide I’ve seen on cables and connectors. I’ve learnt so much from it. Thank you mate
4:00 Just a heads up for those that are starting in 2023 or later. MDPCX now has newer, better and more flexible crimping tools.
Where do you get in the US?
Sleeving cables is the one thing that I outsource when building a system. It's a huge amount of work with 85% of the result being invisible. Probs to the guys who go through this, you da real MVP :)

I'm a car audio cable guy, and now I'm moving my PC to an open DIY custom wall mount so I am grateful for your cable video.. My weakness is the plugs, what to call them, and where to get them. Making it match my office theme is important (I'm old so it'll be more of a vintage library vibe - I'm not a gamer).
Still the best guide after 7 years, you dont find out nowdays this tip of content

See I need some one like you in the group lmfao because holy sheesh custom cables are expensive LMFAOOOO
Amazing stuff. I’d be really interested in how / if you do aRGB cables. Do you switch them over to a specific connector?
Great stuff and a real service.
Get a Hakko 936 on auction. The entire electronic part is $10. So it is risk free.
I use a hot air station designed for SMD work because I can control the temperature for shrink tubing.
For training wire, the filament count is key. There are three standard versions from limp "boat cable" to stiff thhn with as low as 14 strands at 14 AWG.
Electric (not electronic or computer) suppliers can get you anything at 1/3 the cost that custom cable houses charge.
There is no reason you can't get trainable wire as low as 18 AWG.
But, you know, it is actually all about look and feel anyway.
I had a guy force me to restring his whole box with 10 AWG 300 degree cloth and silicone insulation just because. $900 in wire.
Excellent video, and I have watched a ton of those. Very precise and accessible for beginners. Thanks!
Thanks Daniel...great tutorial, I learned a lot. I hope you and the family are doing well.

@13:36 can anyone tell or link me where to buy this specific wire? I can't find it anywhere😢
Great information in this video. I also really like what your doing with the SC store - the bulk kits were a great idea!
What should be the inner and outer diameter for sleeving? Is there anything else that I need to consider when buying sleeves?
Uhhh, nice. Liked it, saved it, will try for myself. Thanks, Daniel
A nice start to the video series, thank you very much.
Friend what is the thickness of the pet mesh to make in a 1.5 mm atx source wire
Brilliant , just what im getting into now for my own build. Looking forward to the rest. Hopefully an advanced overclocking tutorial with the Rampage board would be very welcoming. Also a big , big big congratulations too.
Thank you very much, you are a top notch teacher.
@SingularityComputers - Where do you get the connectors and the wire cap pins?
Sweet. My 3D printer is looking damn fine now.

Do you have any video about SATA data cables? like totally custom made for very exact lengths?
Best guides on the freakin PLANET!!
Damn good video on the basic necessities of custom cabling.
What do you think of the pre-made sleeved cable kits?
Do you do just the power cables or do you do the data cables as well?
Great into to wiring, looking forward to more in this series.
Would love to learn how to do my own custom wiring.
Hello.
Some size of AWG will be the best for modifying cables to the power supply.
Since you are particular about the wire insulation: Which wire brand do you use and where to get it? Thanks for the help and video!
Yeah, I got a build that requires six 8 pin cpu power cables. I have a 1600 watt rosewell power supply with eight 8 pin pcie slots and two 8 pin cpu slots. I don’t feel like modding the power supply.

Thanks a lot 👌🏻 1 question do you only use awg cabel in black or should I buy all the psu color cabel
how much sata/ molex connectors can i put on a single cable?
and can i put both on one cable?
@SingularityComputers what are your thoughts buying a set of cables already sleeved from CableMod or something like that?
This is so very useful video. Thanks for sharing, it's much appreciated.
What if your PSU has built in capacitors onto the cables, should you make extensions then?
what kind of sleeving do you use for the fan wires? the front panel one?
MDCP-X crimpers are IWISS crimpers, with the two rear jaws milled out a little... DO NOT buy them... you can buy 3 IWISS or something similar for the same price... they even SMELL the same.

Can you tell me what the name of the USB/Front panel pins and connectors are called?
Can anyone give me the exact specifications for the Crimpers? I'm here in Japan, while the mdpc-x are kinda available, they are too expensive. I'm going out to look at some local shops if I can get one.
What's the difference between 16 and 18 gauge wire? Does it matter which I use?
Can you make your own SATA data cables?
dose any one know if there is a PDF doc or or website that i could go to with the pin-outs for all PUS'S
Do you still use the SN-28B crimper? Because I have one and it says it's for 28-18 AWG, but you said you use 16 AWG wire. Does it still work for the 16 AWG wire/pins?
didn't he move to the MDPC-X CTX3 Crimpers he has video on it,
I love them

5 or so
+Alex thank You!
did He reverse female and Male connectors?
show your cable ripple measurements please
Nice, but you forgot to mention what size of sleves you use for 16, 18 and 22 awg wire?
He always uses the small sized sleeves. As he stated, it expands up to 4x, so the bigger wire isn't an issue.
Is 15AWG ok for the core components?
quick question, i have a power supply that has caps/capacitors at the start of the cables (evga 1200p2), what do i do with the caps if i want to custom wire???
they use it to reduce the ripple, if you remove it I think youre gonna be fine, companies like cablemod I think that doesn't use it in evga psu, but in corsairs do so I think that doesn't matter too much in your case.

They to reduce ripple but the ripple is already so low its not a issue not to have them.
So I have a corsair 1200i....do my cables have this as well....man maybe I should not do this....sounding like way to much trouble.

I have a non modular PSU, it has some old molex conectors that I dont need, is it safe to cut them off to a minimum lenght and just put a female conector there and covert the cut cable into and extention in case is needed in the future??? has anyone try that?? it think if viable would be a great modification for us poor suckers stuck with a non modular PSU, should i give it a try??
It should be safe, afterall, it's just a shorter cable
Awesome video, maan i really did need this!
Rly nice PSUs. I will build this with a MX 700q

How much of wire is needed for a simple build
Uzair Ali Javed about 45m depends on how much cables and how long they are
Depends on what you are going to sleeve and what length. for the 24, EPS, 2 PCI-E and sata at about 60 cm you are going to need about 45 like Carlsson said.
Easiest way to know is just to calculate how many wire are going to be sleeved multiplied by the length you need. So 8 pin PCI-E is 8 times 60 cm(for example) = 4.8 meters. Just calculate the length you need and the rest is easy.
i well recomend this sofering station Weller WESD51 Digital Soldering Station is one the bes and u canchage the tips as u need

nice video keep up
damn 3 years ago extensions were going out of style? now they’re everywhere
the fooutage is choppy m8e and it's not due to the buffering..
Your computer/laptop or whatever could have a problem with 1080p 60fps. My Netbook for example has that exact problem, the cpu just can't handle it. On my desktop Pc I have no problems whatsoever. But video drivers could be the reason as well.
Felix52000 if my pc had issues playing back 1080p 60fps video footage I'd send it to Africa
guessing u love mdpc-x xD
Why not cablemod? It's works great for me.
Archie Wei because he is making his cables exactly fitting. Means only 5 millimeters difference from optimum.
Cablemods cables, at least the ready kits look AWFUL imo, the wires look anemic and the black|color|black style looks real bad. Custom cables all the way! not to mention MDPC-X sleeve is amazing and looks way better than their paracord.
Itay Levy I'd have to look into it, been using cable mod for 2 years, now building new rigs. Really like their cables feel in the hand, I can't stand plastic feeling sleeve.
Forget about the feeling when you hold them, it's all about the looks, cause you don't hold it much but you do look at it.
I'm not saying paracord doesn't look good, take Ensourced for example, his paracord looks great. Just look at other sleevers work before you go on with Cablemod again.
why mod your case, when you can buy a pre modded one? Well for one, its a fun project sleeving by yourself, and in the end you are proud of your work. Then you can also sleeve each single cable strand to the length you want. No considering the time put into sleeving yourself, it is also cheaper. And from what I have seen online the cablemod sleeving job looks god aweful if you dont choose the pro option. And I find it weird that you have to pay a premium for them to do thheir job right.
just saying u have render issues :)
But still a good vid keep it up :D
greetings from Germany :P
I found those crimpers. They're Glarks (less than $20):
www.amazon.com/Glarks-Terminal-Professional-Crimping-0-1-1-0mm2/dp/B06VWLW11G
That torch, however, might be good, but it's waaay overpriced. I have a torch with adjustable flow and it's /very/ precise. Can adjust the flame down to where it's a pin-point or open it up and it's about the size of a pencil erasure. Been using it for 3 years. Got it for $8 from a local gas station. I modified it by adding 3 layers of steel mesh press fitted into a steel thimble with a hole drilled into the bottom of it to allow the heat out through the mesh. The thimble just so happened to press fit perfectly onto the end of the little torch. Works just like yours.
There are many copies of them and Ive tried a bunch which I wasnt happy with. I have an Iwiss pair which are similar and another blue pair, both are no good though. I think its the jaw shape.
Ahh, I just searched for SN-28B. The model number on the handle. But even looking at the picture and the close-up of yours, the little heart shapes don't look as severe on the ones on Amazon. I'd imagine that's what makes them work so well to get a reliable crimp.
I found them. The blank blue handles (no logos) and the severe looking "pointy" die set in the jaw. The closeup on the jaw looks exactly like yours.
www.amazon.com/Haicable-SN-28B-0-1-1-0mm2-Terminals-Wire-electrode/dp/B00WU3WI7I/ref=sr_1_6?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1514939049&sr=1-6&keywords=SN-28B+Pin+Crimping+Tool+2.54Mm+3.96Mm+28-18Awg
I believe this is actually the pair you have, but they're pricey considering, and the ones above have the same die set in them ^:
www.amazon.com/Crimping-28-18Awg-0-1-1-0Mm2-Terminals-Wire-Electrode/dp/B078KZGD6K/ref=sr_1_45?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1514938810&sr=1-45&keywords=SN-28B
I think the main thing that makes them work well is that the die set comes to a sharp point instead of a rounded one. It makes the terminal dig into the shielding.
ilike the channel!
yesssssss
