This is the Case Fan Sleeving Guide to the sleeving series I have started to promote sleeving of PSU and computer cables in general. And help everyone sleeve a bit better!
This video will show you how to sleeve a Cafe Fan with MDPC Sleeving. Other types of sleeving can be used, but you will need to take in consideration the melting point of the heatshrink as well as the diameter. This is also true for the sleeving as well.
Please join the discussion on the artisan section of OCN : www.overclock.n...
I'm about to sleeve my box for the first time, and I must have watched 10 videos of chumps doing this in 5 minutes. I'm glad you took the time to slow down and show a new guy what all you should do, but also what all not to do. I know learning by experience is the best way... But I'm on a college kid budget. XD Thanks for the great videos!
Man, you are so detailed in your teachings. So many perfect tips for a perfect job. Nicely done! I think I've watched them all, so it's time for some new ones!!! :D
thanks for the video sleeved a ton of fans never quiet got the sleeve butt up to the end but that crazy glue trick worked awesome didn't have sata heat shrink but looks a hell of alot better butted up against the connector with the heat shrink and the sleeve wont slide down that video was very helpful thank you. Kevin ( you never stop learning )
Over forty minutes of lutro0 fan cable sleeving perfection.
It's "Nilo" by the way.
I just disordered your videos today after using MDPC sleeving for ages and its nice to see how you sleeve, picked up a few new tricks! thanks Lutro0
Using these exact tools I was able to do my first sleeves. I was nervous about extracting the pins from the fan connectors but the exacto blade worked great, now I can get it every time. Thank you!
If you guys don't have a Dremel you could just heat the xacto and cut it white the hot knife, the plastic will melt and it will be very easy to cut!
I love the look of the BitFenix Spectre Pro. Especially the white ones, they just look beast.
thank you sooooooo much for doing those tutorials man! Even though I do not actually do sleeving, it is soo useful for fixing sleved cables like those you find on good quality peripherals because most of them are sleeved and it is so easy to turn it into a horible mess. But thanks to you, my headset cable fix actually looks good and will probably last longer than the original!
You rock!
Always enjoy your videos, very informative. So informative, probably takes business away..lol. I'm getting ready to build a gaming rig in a Velka 3, and will be using your tutorials to make all of my own cables for that added personal touch and better cable management, if that's even possible in such a small case. I would love to see something on customizing a flex atx PSU with tips from the guru. I will be cutting a lot of the unnecessary cables, replacing the fan in the unit with a Noctua, and cutting the remaining cables to the correct length, then will finish it off with Paracord sleeving. I'm thinking Paracord for the flexibility in a very tight space will be more beneficial since it will not be seen inside the case. All of those ideas have come from your inspiration, mixed with my lack of understanding of what I'm about to get myself in to. Thanks for the videos, keep them coming!
Really Great Video. Both ends look really clean compared to shrink tube with wires showing that is usually out there... I am getting ready to completely re-wire my Stryker Cased Asus Maximus VI Formula, from the 1200 Watt Full Modular Power Supply to each component within my system. There are so many methods out there for Sleeving that I was unsure which direction to go.... Now that I know how I want it too look (after watching your video) I Cant Wait To Get Started!!!
Great video Lutro0. I use hot glue rather than superglue as it dries clear and is flexible. It is also forgiving as you can fix mistakes. For thin wires such as case headers I use 3mm heat shrink on the wire so it sits under the sleeving. It gives a bit more grip .
Awesome detailed guide there on how to sleeve any bare cable and Fan wiring. Be ordering some parts from LutroO's site for sleeving cables for my new build for the fans which is allot that currently have bare wiring.
Btw, my solution for shrinking the connector on fans that do not have consolidated wires, is using another piece of 15mm pre-cut, which you slide right up to the connector, and then you use a 20mm sata shrink that covers half of the connector and sort of half of the pre-cut. The result is a good looking and VERY strong end. It's also nicer if you color combo the pre-cut and sata, rather than using black shrink for both. :)
THX for putting those Videos up
I'd chop the first pin that holds the cable from the soldering. Really isn't that needed now that I have done some fan sleeving and having another look at this video. :)
Also, the super-glue method is super nice and genuine, but kinda hard to do on fans that have the wires separated which is the major selection of fans.
Btw, it's funny how this video is the ONLY proper fan sleeving guide video. All others just noob out doing bad job. I can't believe how much I learnt from your videos Mike. :)
Thanks and yes I normally make my own cables to replace the original ones
Just sleeved a Noctua NF-F12. It has some kind of sleeving out of the box but it doesn't go all the way up to the fan so there's a few centimeters of bare colored wire.
Was a bit worried first as the fan didn't spin but then checked this video again and realized that the wires were wrong way around in the connector :P
I use a mini hack saw for those tabs. No melted plastic and a super clean cut.
bequiet fans are nice ;) also those corsair fans look nice too
love your attention to details
thanks. I thought sleeving was a really hard job, but you help me understand more :)
Get better soon.
It's long and thorough. It's also hard to do a good video in one take. Especially on handcrafted stuff like this.
I like the fan sticker.
Nice guide Mr. Lutro0! Keep up the good work!
Another good video, many thanks Lutro0.
nice guide man,realy usefull tips.keep up the good job
A good idea when sleeving cables is to put a cable tie underneath the heat shrink or over the top just to secure the sleeving a little more
I do not at the moment, I intend on doing one but there is so many methods to cover and I personally like using single runs to a crimp style sata power connector as it looks cleaner IMO
Yes! This is just what I needed. Been sleeving fans for a long time and I've always hated that damn transition from the wire to the sleeve. Looks like absolute shit. Going to be doing this on my next set of fans. Thanks! Also, you know they make tiny heat guns just for doing heat shrink like this so you don't bugger up the connectors. They're much better than using a lighter.
Lutro you should bring down the camera a bit more and tilt it up so it's closer to where you normally work comfortably at the table :).
sure will
@pcaddict1337 Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words.
It would be cool to see a video on how to sleeve wiring for a pump
Hmm, thats not a bad idea. I have done allot of those. Keep an eye out for that one!
+lutro0 Looking forward to it. Just about to order an EK DDC pump and it comes with all bare, rainbow colored loose wires, it badly needs some sleeving.
You can´t see the brown connector anyway when it is heatshrink sleeved. Nice to know it can fit all the way onto. Putting it on a little bit of the connector´s lenght would not work, because it would slip off.
excellent tutorial HUGE help thank you!
informative guide
I tried for the first time, first, i broke 1 pin on the fan side, than, i had such an headache because i had 3 individuals wires to sleeve at the same time, and than, at the end my sleeve was too short lol
but for a first experience a lot of fun. Of course, i didnt do a video of it lol
10:40 reminded me of when you are at the dentist and he/she takes out that thing that they use to poke your teeth with.
I havent painted anything in years I would need the lesson!
I would not use superglue for heatshrinkless. I will be making a video on how to do this soon!
Yes with the right HS.
THERMALTAKE AF0031 THUNDERBLADE GREEN LED SLEEVE 120MM
This is awesome, can i ask what diameter Paracord do you use for the fan cables? I will be ordering a batch from MDPC-X but am unsure on the correct diameters
I will have to redo allot of my videos to update the products, But MDPC is still very good product.
I know this is 8 years ago and whatnot soon. But isn't a 3pin positive, negative and ground? The control would be the fourth wire that you see in 4pins which all PWM fans come with?
Wondering if I got something completly wrong now.
Good video anyways
Rip was watching video and following along, but then i realized all AF120's have a grey line on the left side :D
Cant wait to do this. lutro0 for the ordering if i know the case , MBoard, and PS would you know the lengths needed for the supplies ?
Can you make a guide for sleeping water cooling tubes?
Sadly some fans i have have spacing in the solding and cant get the heat shrink tubing all the way to the very end or it will break the solder on the fan cables
Typically 550 is used, however 450 will be just fine.
Excellent video. Do you have a tutorial for sata power cables?
The pins cant go in the other way so cant put it wrong unless you separate every cable
you rock! love your vids. subbed!
Thanks for the videos mate, so helpful, particularly the Paracord one.
Are you able to tell me whether 550lb 7 Strand Paracord is suitable for general sleeving? Or do I need a different strand count/weight?
Can I use the heatshrinkless method for this ( put the shrink on and cut with a knife or is that just for 24 pin
Just for the 24pin, your really need some HS for these to come out right.
i found the LOC TITE super glue leave less or none of the white residue
Hey, thanks for the vid. Very informative. =D
Would it be possible to use a small blowtorch instead of a lighter to heat up the heat shrink around the connector or would that be too hot?
can you use crazy/super glue on the 18 awg wire sleeving? can you do this and avoid heatshrinking altogether?
Hi Lutro0. Thanks for the great video. As datbtrue also asks, will this method (using MDPC) work with 4-pin pwn fans?
ho also, you have any tips on how to sleeve cables with inline connectors? or dou you just replace the connector as you sleeve the cable?
Great video but what happened to your heat gun?
Instead of making a diagram.I take a picture,and if the wires are the same color I stick a small piece electrical tape of different color around each wire except one.
What are those pins at the end of the cable - can the cable be shortened(cut) and those pins added to the new end?
Thanks for the video. Quick question though, where to buy the connectors on 38:50? is it included if i buy fan connectors on 38:38?
Thanks
"... 60's are long gone, so we can get away from disco. ..." Bahahahahah :D Agreed.
Matheus Moreira almost funny, disco was in the 70's.

Ho ok thanks for the info!
@lutro0 whats a good cable sleeving kit? is the Techflex kit any good? if not, what would you recomend.
nice tuts, just a question what size sleeve do you use for the fans?
regular size, or about 4mm
Nice! :) thanks for the vid ;)
no problem!
Can you use the MDPC "small" sleeving for 4 pin pwm fans or is paracord a better option for this application?
Thanks in advance.
Wow you are a pastor! :)
Yup I was, lutro0 customs is now my full time job.
I used MDPC "small" size. =)
i wished my fans were that shiny
I didn't mean to be rude... All i did was pointing out that his video lasts 80% longer than 99% of all RUclips videos. Not hating, just.. pointing it out, i guess.
How many watt dremel would you say is the minimum?
I dont see why not someday.
Ok, this might be a stupid question, but getting a bits cared and desperate. I sleeved y EK DDC pump and now when I run it it doesn't respond to the PWM signal from the motherboard at all, always run at 100%. I pulled the wires to make sure they were correctly attached and when I put the header back in I no longer even got a RPM signal. With the "notched" (notches around the 3 wires used in DC control) I put the green to the far left (outside the notches) which should be the PWM wire and the blue next to it (which should be the RPM), this is exactly like it was when I first got it.
But now I wonder if I inserted the wires incorrectly in the header? Which way are the "loops" on the connectors supposed to go in the header, facing up towards to "notched side" with slits, or down towards the plain side of the connector? Is there anything I can do to make sure there is a good connection with the motherboard header pins?
You might have switched the colors. This happens alot with cables. Did you keep it on the same side when you were sleeving them?
+MrDanderskoff Turned out I had a defect pump, had to RMA it. New one works perfectly.
@igorkoekkoek I will shoot you a reply!
is that paracord?
Is that 5mm sleeve?
what size sleeving is being used? i want to sleeve my 4 pin pwm fans what size should i use?
+lutro0 what is the size of the sleeving kit you used?
YEa! OCN!
Hi Lutro0 could you please link me to the dremel cutting disks on ebay?
Locally they cost way too much!
Just look for reinforced fiberglass cutting wheels
why did he like.. barely blink in the beginning.. ?
Will this work with floppy (need it for my sound card and it looks so crap right now with the stock PSU sleeving)
what's the best diameter for the fan sleeve in mm?
is that 9mm or 13mm or ?
Happy trees are not dumb if bob ross was alive he would slapp you silly and give you an art lesson lol
Silly me i thought i have to individually sleeve the fan cables =D
best way to learn is to screw it up
What dremel are you using?
MDPC "small" size.
Wear protection, gotcha! I wear condoms when dremeling!
hey lutro0 i want to buy one of your tools could you sent me a pm
"Real quick project" - lasts 41 minutes.
Lutro0.
superglue totally unnecessary but thanks for the vid
Why ?
