This is the MDPC 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 is all about using MDPC Sleeving & Heatshrink. For more information about MDPC please visit their website: www.mdpc-x.com/
Please join the discussion on the artisan section of OCN : www.overclock.n...
MDPC-X SENT ME A GERMAN FLY ALONG WITH THE SHIPMENT, ITS REPRODUCED IN MY HOUSE AND IS GOING TO CHANGE THE WHOLE ECO SYSTEM IN NYC... THANKS!
How’s progress on your ecosystem been the last 5 years? 😂
Bar none, this is the absolute hardest mod I've ever undertaken on my computer, and I'm in disbelief because the results im getting from your tool are perfect. I feel like a pro. I've done 14 cables so far with it and haven't had to redo one. Spent $130 bucks on materials, your tool was the best $10. THANK YOU!
Good thing Aaron pointed that out. We might have had to use his videos to sleeve.
Yes you have the power to do what you want, but within the limits of the oem pinout of the psu and your case and how your choose to sleeve it and what materials. All of my shops tool and wire and sleeve are directed to make sleeving easier and to make your cables easier to train and stay in place.
@ThePCGam3r I do recommend getting the pre-cut heatshrink cuts from MDPC, it will save you tons of time and allow you to get a clean look.
I tried it today for the first time and I noticed something ! Lutro is using a reducer on his heat-gun. I wasn't using my reducer until now and each time the heat went over the sleeve, it caused it to mess up pretty bad (I couldn't precisely direct the heat. So although not pointed out in the video, you should definitely throw the reducer on the heat-gun before attempting to sleeve. First attempt didn't go well, but 2nd attempt, I got a PERFECT result! All you have to do is follow precisely. :)
Apparently Corsair PSU's have some special hitches thrown in, due to split wires and all that jazz... Great to know, since that will be my first ever sleeving job.
You can find the pinout from the maker of the psu, but it will take some work getting it right again. I always draw my own pinout before removing any cables first.
Thanks for the guide. I was able to do an Corsair PSU cables with it for a friend. Now since i've bought myself Seasonic 660W fully modular I'm gonna refabricate whole cables to less lenght to have less cable tidy work in my rig. Still great vids and im still be doing some of your tips'n'trick to pimp my rig aswell.
Crimping is making the cable yourself, you take the same crimps on a psu wire and use a ratchet tool to crimp it. Check out my store lutro0 customs com
I have the same psu, once you get the tool in the connector tap on it ( i used small pliers) a few times to get a good grip on the crimp, I wore gloves to get a decent grip on the wire and connector and pulled and it will come out. It definitely takes some patience tho but I picked up on it after i did a couple
look t the original mdpc guide with heatshrink,They will come out but seasonic made their matrials hard to depin so there is no tool that would be perfect so yo need to give them a tug, if you rip one out no worries just recrimp it. To get it out get a small vice grip and some bobbyoins for hair cut off sll the silly parts so you have a long flat edge measure it out so it goes only the lenght it needs to go and insert once and each side
I plan on this eventually, but I am really busy with my new store.
@JarrodL08337 Thanks so much for your kind words. You will have to send me some pics of your work.
@MegaJayCub Once my surgery is done I hope to get back into them as much as I can. Thanks for the comments.
Sometimes it takes alot of force, push the wire into the connector, then incert the tool, then pull the wire straight out.
adi you are right, I just assumed after seeing it on the video you all would use one.
You will want to use larger heatshrink then your sleeve. 3/16 or 1/4th 4:1 or 3:1
I definitely will! Thanks!
Dont fret, it only took me that long because I was explaining. It goes super fast once you get it down. =)
Good work! I will be doing this soon on my OCZ ZT 750w. Thanks.
You will want to use a lighter or heatgun. A hairdryer does not have enough heat.
A good tutorial, many thanks.
The pretty hard as corsair ones have a little trick to discourage people from doing it. But you need to bend the tip of the inserting tip
a little to the inside (i do it with a smashed paper clip or a staple so i font ruin the tool) and that does the job
Awesome guides Lutro0 :)
very usefull mate! :) im going on a crazy pc building frenzy so this was a perfect tutorial!
keep it up!
Thank you for this vid, man! It has encouraged me to try sleeve my cables :)
@upl8447 Good to hear!
great videos! most helpful tutorials i've seen. thank you :D
hey awesome guide, I was just wondering what size heat shrink to use on the single sleeve cables? I know to use 1/8" sleeve, do I use 1/8" heat shrink as well? Thanks for the help.
Hi Lutro
First of all o think your guides are the best. I have a problem though. When i tried to remove a 6 pin pcie i must have used too much force and the cable broke with the pin in the connector. Is there a way to remove the pin without destroying the connector?
BEST GUIDE EVER ! THANK YOU :D
hey man awesome guide, but can you make a video on sleeving non-modular PSU's? i have one myself where the 24 pin is hard wired in, as well as the 4+4 pin. if you would be so kind, thanks!
Thanks!
Any idea where i can buy this? The website overseas is down and cant catch it online. Also does the kit come with enough to do 24pin, 2 580s worth of power, 8 fans, 2 koolance pumps with a speed controller(24v), CPU and all the usual cables? Nice guide, Im glad i watched before i ordered. Also, if im going to go through the trouble of sleeving everything, I want to make custom cable lengths as well. Do you know of a kit? The wire is no problem but the molex terminations might be. subbed
Awesome I wish you luck bud!
@LKxDESIGN Thanks bud!
On the intro, or outro, or LUTRO0!
Thanks! This has help a lot in my sleeving:-)
Nice guide thanks
No problem! Thanks for the kind words!
What size of sleeving do you recommend for double cable sleeving and what size of heatshrink
I have a seasonic x750, and i have spent 2 hours trying to remove the pins. I have the mdpc tool, and i can't get a single pin out. I hear the click, i've pulled and pulled, it doesn't work. :[
Hi i was wondering where do you find the diagrams to make sure that the wires go into the right spot. I really want to sleeve my power supply cables right now for my seasonic x 850 watt 80 plus gold. i'm not sure how to get the stuff required to do this but the sleeving part isn't too bad.
Check out my sleeving faq link it will share the ones I have come across.
What size sleeving is that, and how many feet would you recommend if I was to sleeve out a 24 pin, 8pin eps, and 2 or 3 8pin PCIe connectors? Never sleeved before but I'm putting together a new computer with a window in it and I can't have it not looking tip top.
What size of a cable are you using for this ?
I guess that this size will do fine for all psu cables .
Great tutorial overall !
@9705870 Some people use staples and other methods but hands down you will want to get a ORIGINAL MOLEX TOOL, don't get any of the kits as they break and down work right. I have heard so many bad things about all of the other tools, and the only one that has worked perfectly is the molex tool. I have a link to it in my tools guide.
Hi! i have a question which size of mdpc do u use in this guid,because when i go to the shop there is many kind mdpc and different (mm). sorry for my english...
Hey man, how did it go? I'm planning on doing it to mine soon. Any problems on the Motherboard 24 Pin double wires?
great tutorial!!! thanks
What would you charge to sleeve a complete corsair ax1200i in blue thanks
What are the best psu's to use for sleeving? I bought an ocz for a good price before I was interested in sleeving. They have caps on the mobo cable and jsut a mess to try and sleeve.
What's the name of the pin removal tool? :(
As Corsair PSU's are Seasonic OEM, does the same principal apply?
Man these EVGA pins are tight. I can't get em out, well with the pins anyway. Two wires out with no pins.
how long would it normally take you to sleeve a 24pin?
LOL "there we go, we have a wire... it only took us half an hour"
haha, when I dont have to explain anything it goes much much faster. =)
I'm sure after a million hand made cables you can do it in your sleep! I sent you a custom request please take a look at my build and help me come up with ideas for cabling ;)
out of curiosity what is the initial cable you use ?
only ask because ive discovered a fault in the suppliers one bad batch.
It was a custom 18awg stranded copper wire with a slightly thicker insulation that was ordered from china. I was pretty OCD about getting it just right but the seller came through.
Hey man if i want to make my own custom 24 pin etc, do i just purchase your cables, the pins and just sleeve and pin the 24 cables straight into the 24pin plug? Like it doesnt matter what order right if that makes sense??
Yes it does matter what the pinout is, the motherboard and hardware side is always an atx standard but the psu side is always different and up to the psu maker.
hey i was just wondering if you will do extensions for people on request and if so how much
Yes I do, www.modbunker.com
what is the diameter of the mdpc you're using in the guide (millimeters)
1/4th in small size
Can i do this with cables i got with my PSU or do i need to go from scratch?
You can do either method.
Hey! How long in millimeters is the heatshrink you use ?
15mm
Ps: I'm still very unclear about what happened between you and MDPC, and it obviously is none of my business, its sad to see you two split :(
@rfizzle Hey bud. I have to say that kit is bad news. No hard feeling to the maker of it, but ive heard nothing but bad things about it. The original molex tool is bar none the best. If you check out my facebook page I just explained this to someone else as well as showed him where to buy the original molex tool. Please refer to that.
railpressureflip You can contact me for the full story, but long story short when I opened my shop he stopped being a friend. Money does weird things to people sometimes.
Ah that is sad! Money and business can get touchy with friends and people. I understand. But it's so great to see you keeping on with this stuff!
Well i WAS considering sleeving my cables, lol.
Great tutorial though :)
Check out the heatshrinkless guide for plastic sleeving - that method is much much easier.
Couldn't you just put the entire thing over the wire and then mark where the sleeving should end and then take it off and cut it?
If you mean for measuring the wire then yes you could and if you find it easier then it would not be a bad method. However IMO I find it to take extra time also for MDPC you have to stretch it pretty tight to get good coverage so I measure from fixed points keeping in mind that I need to stretch it. I hope that answers your question. =)
Looks like that sleeve is way too big for that cable.
I will be selling a tool to remove those pins on my site lutro0customs com
But a pair of small saw blades or hair bobby pins and a vice grips works awesome.
DAMN 30 MIN for one cable how about the whole case ? I give up
@Holton0289 Please check out my tool guide video and listen to the crimper explainations and such. It will help you find what you are looking for. Otherwise shoot me a msg on facebook and I will help you out.
Send me a MSG. =)
HahA That cool my name is jarrod
