Working with wiring pinouts seems to be a big barrier for a lot of you to creating custom PC cables, so here’s a quick, cheap method without the need for a pinout. 100ft of high quality PET sleeving is all you’ll need to buy for this, that’ll set you back $26 from Mainframe Customs, Mod One PC or potentially cheaper if you want to go with paracord. Enjoy!
What if there are additional capacitors on the wires?
Just take 'm off, honestly. Their really not necessary on the Corsair PSU's that use them.
They're called inline capacitors and are supposed to avoid current ripple.
I've thoroughly measured 4 different SKU's with and without the inline caps and there was no valuable difference whatsoever. Just marketing b/s.
@@mandem9319 Thanks.
hey there! :) i would like to ask what size of sleeves are they (black and purple? 6mm or 4mm) ?
@@martinracz2434 mostly they are 4mm sleeves.
Your videos are high quality and unique keep on the hard work
Thanks for the support!
I don't know why i didn't think of doing it like this lol. Simple video without a whole bunch of fluff. Straight to the point. Love it!
Thank you so much for this! I am new-ish to PC building and never really knew this simple method was an option! Really like the vid, simple to follow and understandable. You've got a great way of explaining things in my opinion!
Glad you found it helpful!
Just great video overall! I always enjoy the high production value and the mature and no-screaming approach in your videos, really sets you apart from other channels in this field.
Thanks for putting your sleeving methods into a more simple, inexpensive and less time consuming method!
Damn dude, i just love your video's because of your chill voice and the good tips. Keep it going
dope ass video man. considering most psu's come with a spare set of cables, doing this is a no brainer. such a good entry level tutorial. cant wait to see this channel hit 1 milly subs. such premium content.
I want to know how I can support your content. I think you definitely deserve more Subs and a sponsor man!
Maybe email him and ask him to create a Patreon account or something.
This is great, thanks. Definitely going to do this on my next build.
Thank you for you hard work! You videos is always cinema like and pleasant to look till the end!
Nice Video, this tutorial really makes it easier for people to build custom cables for their rig without buying pre made. Sadly though I've already made the investment into all the tools. I'm looking forward to your new water cooled build.
Great video! I'm definitely gonna try doing this
This is absolutely perfect, exactly what I needed!
This idea was amazing. This video is very helpful for every person who is into custom pc
"Easily Custom Sleeve Your PC for $26"
-80USD Cablemod set leaves the chat.
@The great Honkler cable extentions are cheap because they can be made in bulk.
Custom length sleaved cables, individually made to match the specific pin layout for the PSU, is more than just the cost of the materials. You have labour and overhead costs.
@@Kathdath I'm pretty sure the people in this thread would prefer you don't ruin their whining-about--prices-party with logic and basic business principles
@@Kira-qc4qi Its not the manufacturing costs, Its the market. just like how custom keycaps or switches cost an exorbitant amount of money, custom sleeved cables cost a lot due to the niche market.
@The great Honkler You're not paying for the material, you're paying for the time and labor of it all. I understand why they cost so much, and while I'd probably buy some, I have settled with extensions. But, you get what you pay for. Hand made, custom cables will always be better than extensions, I'm sorry.
Luka F i know the comment is 8 months old but still, i‘ve got Cablemod extensions 3 years ago, the 8Pin GPU cable got toasted after only 3 years, can‘t recommend...
One of the coolest videos you’ve ever done. Neat!
wow thank you for this. I have 2 power supplies in the closet just taking up space I'll get some practice on. I didn't even consider using the cables they come with
I'd been waiting this video
Thank you for helping me keep occupied during the latest lockdown in the UK
Perfect timing!
Awesome
Very helpful. Appreciative of the instructions 🤘
I was just searching for custom sleeving supplies but you got my attention
I was just watching your old vid on this from 3 years ago, thinking why no one used the included wires to make things less complicated. the next thing I know, I discover a newer video with you, actually doing that exact thing. thanks for the video, I really appreciate it! much love from Denmark!
Well, if you use your only pair of cables, who knows what could happen. What if you did it wrong and mess up your cables. And most psu are hard to find replacement cables
I used this method 6 months back with my new PC, first time cable sleever. I tried the PET route first but couldn't find any with the color I had in mind. So paracord was the only choice and the end result was still very much worth the trouble. Good guide. I suspect the staple method would've been easier than the bad & cheap extractor tool kit I got for the job.
How long it take you to do a 24 pin cable? I'm dreading this job tbh
@@SwazNasty Can't remember specifics but I think the 24pin took me a whole evening (5h or so?). It was the first one I did, the later ones speeded up a bit.
I really like this. I was already thinking of buying a nice set from Cablemod but then making a really cool custom set with my old (existing) cables. Only thing I'm going to change is I want to also adjust the length.
Been waiting for this. I saw you do this on your N Case M1 Build, and I thought to myself, "How can expand my love for computer legos? CUSTOM SLEEVE!"
I never comment on anything, but this is deadly! I knew there must be a way to reuse the OEM wires. Thanks so much for this video
Cool! Very nice tutorial!
I have a small case (Thermaltake P1) and extensions seem like a lot of cable to manage. This Video convinced me to not buy Cable extensions. My only reservations are voiding the PS warranty on my new build. Another ides that might be even easier - only do ONE SIDE. Undo the MB side per this video and then simply slide the sleeve down over the wire and insert / push it into the Power supply end - maybe even a little glue of some type. The finish the loose end as shown in this video. This way you only do one wire at a time. If your power supply is not visible, then even better.
Killer tutorial!
awesome brilliant idea
Finaly something that i can do with a non modular PSU (I'll just need to end the sleving 5cm before the PSU. ) Will defiantly try
Nice work man! 👍
Only thing I wanted to point out for some of you attempting this mod *some PSU manufacturer s have started heatshrinking over capacitors inline with the cable for ripple control and it makes it a bit harder to pull this off as pulling the sleeve over the bulky capacitor can prove difficult. I have an EVGA 1k unit that has this. Not impossible but much harder. Cheers!
this actually makes me further appreciate the effort custom cable makers put into case-specific custom length cables in sffpc custom loop cases. gladly pay $25 per cable.
5:45 I understood "wood cooled built" and was just like "WHAT yeah man I'd be down for that!"
Your the best bro, thank you
Appreciate this
Would still prefer using extensions.
1. RMA reasons.
2. Properly done sleeved extensions have one row of cables which are just slightly longer (0.5cm) than the other row which allows the cable to bend naturally. The problem with doing this to stock cables is that they are all the same length. While you might be able to train them (or appear to train them when connecting to your ATX or GPU, it leaves a length deficit at the other end.
3. Reusable with new PSUs.
Brilliant video mate, the skewer idea is clever and simple! I’ve run into in line capacitors on my pcie cables. How do you go about sleeving them?
This is the sort of video that gets you more subs.... top fkin job mate.
nice! thanks!
Awesome video men !
I have a question : could we cut the cables at the right lenght in this case or not ? Since we're unplugging them
good stuff!
this is what i want to do. but im having trouble finding decent white sleeve.
The staple tip: 👌👌👌
ordered the sample kit after watching this. Was looking at cableMod kits and was actually very close to buying one but after watching this I said fuck that. Really excited to try this!
B-roll PC Build, please!!!
You know the biggest upside of this method? You can even custom sleeve a semi-modular or non-modular PSU with this. Thanks dude!
Hi very nice Video !
I love your channel and hope you can answer my question :)
I wanted to ask you how long the cable length of a cable color should be if you use 2 or 3 different colors ?
I might try this if I upgrade my PSU
You planning on reviewing the velka 3? It's a 3.7l case with mini itx graphics support, at a relatively affordable price. Would love to see a review if possible, there's some specs posted on reddit and sff forum
Would love to, I've been peeping that + Velka 5 recently.
Actually, wires at 1:35 is what I WANT!!
might sound dumb but,
for custom length cables, can you just take an existing set, and only cut and re-crimp one end, saving you more than half of the work?
I’ve actually thought about doing this with my evga g2 a while ago. There are a few power supplies out there with a capacitor on the cable so you could’ve talked about that.
Is this not doable with a G2 or something?
@@labasjonai I guess it's doable. I just never got around to doing it.
@@vongdong10 Oh I see! Thank you!
Great videos! What lengths do you use for 24pin, 8pin CPU and pcie cables in the ghost s1?
Maybe ill go do it
GENIUS!
If I do that, I won't lose my Warranty? I have a Evga GQ 750
Wowwwwwww Perfect Video for me :D Thanks!
In other ways,get a 3$ side cutter,wire will set you like 15$,another 5$ for the terminals and connectors,20$ for the paracord or more for the pet,15$ for the crimper and like a 1$ for the heatshrink and you could do everything custom.
Nice crimper is cool but not necessary for one time job.That jet lighter is like 3$ online so get it instead of regular lighter.Also cable combs are a must pretty much but those set you back few bucks.Also these are all aliexpress and ebay prices.If you want branded shit than forget budget
This is pretty genius
Corsair only comes with daisy chain pcie, so I guess I will need to make myself two individual ones from ground up.
I've tried to do this on my Corsair cables and no matter what I do the cable won't come out.
That 510 elite will run quite hot though, see Gamers Nexus' review of it.
Nice.
Awesome !! 😍👍
Jayz2Cents sent me. Keep up the great work my dude.
What about the little condensators that were on the wire originally? Aren't those helpful with voltage ripple?
You mean capacitors? You can remove them or sleeve over them. They're not critical.
wow this looks really doable. what size mdpc sleeving should I get, they have different sizes...
Jay has sent us here
i would love to do this but having troubles finding them in belgium or even getting sleeves shipped to belgium
Whats the best card layout for itx builds? Blower or fans? 1 or 2 fan cards? Which would be best for a small form factor build?
Would it also be an option to cut the stock cables shorter for a mini ITX build? Or do you really need to buy custom length cables? It seems almost impossible to buy custom length cables in Australia at the moment.
You can buy them pre done for the same price, cablemod just overcharge like crazy
I don't believe you, but I'd like to. Do you have proof? Same price for same length of sleeve or sleeved cable with appropriate ends?
@@labasjonai there are multiple companies that sell them on amazon I cant quite remember the company mine are from but they are there for sure. Edit: I got mine from upHere but Antec ( the PSU manufacturer) also sell them
@@Duncan23 Oh, you're talking about Chinese full cable kits. I misunderstood it as "1m of sleeve for the price of 1m of sleeved cable" and was hoping for something like Bitfenix where they sell individual terminated sleeved wires and connectors.
Thanks for the reply!
Any tips on preventing scratches on the chrome finish on the Founders Edition?
Can you just buy wires and the plugs and then just copy by following the wire on a manufacturer cable?
Where could one obtain a UK supply of these sleeves?
WHAT TODO if the cable has capasitors on them???
Jayz2cents got you some subs man.
@The Fuzzy Ninja Tweeter
Can you cut the stock psu wires with cable cutters to shorten the length and then re-pin them ?
Will doing this void your warranty?
can i cut the wires to my desired length and then put new connectors on it and use it ?
Thanks for the tuto it's very well explain.
But what about PCI connector which are subdivided into other, it will look really ugly.
I have an Corsair HX750
what size PET sleeve is best 2mm,3mm,4mm
whats the thickness i should go for? i bought 2mm but i think it might be too small
Question: Is there any benefit to sleeving other than cool aesthetics? I just bought a Ghost S1 and I definitely want to make the PSU cables shorter, but sleeving adds a lot of bulkiness so I was planning on just using unsleeved shorter cables. Is this ok, or am I gonna get scorned by the SFF gods?
Will I lose my PSU warranty if I'll make this mod?
Nice video! It seems like its $26 and a lot of work though ^^
what size mm are your cables? 4mm? 2mm? 3mm?
I can’t seem to get the staples to release the connector pins. I was hoping it would be as easy as your video. Now I’m sad I can’t make use of these cables. 😢
Looks amazing but also very time consuming ;)
What's the name of the heater/lighter you use to burn the cable sleeve/heatsrink?
What diameter sleeving should i use?
My sleeving doesn't seem to "bind" to the wire after I heat it. It's PET sleeving too.
i actually am thinking if i could use this for headphone and modmic cable lol.
How hard is it to re-use the female atx pins? I.e can I cut the stock cables to length one by one. Peel off the atx pin and reattach it to the new length cable?
Great vid but why do pinout diagrams matter when you can just copy your stock cables
If I use pcie cables with the daisy chain in it, can I just remove the daisy chained part?
Would it work with semi modular psu?
