Thanks for the support!

Yes it looks pretty awesome in person, although I would have preferred the TRUE to be mounted vertically instead of horizontally. Nevertheless, all this nickled copper makes me excited. Plus the fact that I am in the room where I lapped the TRUE and Q6600, which isn't that well ventilated... I'm breathing copper and nickle baby yeah!

Today I've received my order from FrozenCPU and was quite disappointed with what they shipped me. Especially considering the total price of it all.

I've ordered:

• 5.25" Lian Li Bay Cover (1)
• Black 1/4" Cable Sleeve (10)
• Black 1/8" Cable Sleeve (10)
• Universal Molex Removal Tool (1)
• 12" 24-pin ATX Extension Cable (1)
• 12" 6-pin PCIe Extension Cable (2)
• 12" 8-pin EPS Extension Cable (1)

for a total (including handling, shipping and importing duties) of: €112.79 ($144). That's alot of money.

The universal molex removal tool is worthless when trying to remove the pins from an ATX 24 pin connector. But this could well be caused by my lack of knowledge on this product prior to purchasing it.

I've received far too little cable sleeving, which may also be caused by the fact that there is not enough information on this product on the website. There's no indication on the product's length, so I just assumed it was 3m, like it usually is over here (pre-packaged by AC Ryan). I ordered 10 units and instead of 10 packages I got 10 feet of mesh. That will not do obviously.

And I am a bit worried about the 24 pin ATX extension cable. Instead of the pictured item (see below), I received a partially meshed product. After taking off the mesh, to individually mesh each cable I also found out that alot of wires were crossing over instead of direct leads to the extension connector. I'm a bit puzzled by this and I'm wondering what I should do here. Is this the result of a poor sleeving job or are the wires supposed to cross over - on an extension cable.

Here's a picture of what I expected the product to look like:



And instead of clear direct connections between corresponding pins, the wires on mine are crossing over here and there, some quite rigorously even.

Can anyone give me advice on this matter? Should I leave it like this or straighten out the cables and rearrange the entire extension plug?

Looking at my 24 pin cable for my cosmos s, none of them are crossed over like you say, I would contact them on that.

What damage would that have done if you plugged it in?!

Thanks for checking that out.

Even though the cables were crossed over, the colour-coordination was correct. And according to this site it shouldn't be an issue, as long as the right colours are in the right slot.

I've finished sleeving the extension cable and in doing so I might have mixed up pin 7 and 19. Both are black, so both are ground-cables. Can anyone confirm my interpretation that as long as the colours match with the supposed pin layout there shouldnt be an issue?

You should be fine, but I would check your motherboard manual just to make sure. It should tell you what each pin is.

good idea.

I just noticed we have awfully similar PCs. Why don't you start folding on it? I pull around 10k ppd if I were to run mine 24/7.

Over the past two days I’ve got some cable sleeving done. I’ve done a 24-pin ATX extension plug, 8-pin extension plug and two 6-pin PCIe wires. Here’s the result:





I’m quite happy with the overall look.

Oh and it's my birthday so cookies for you all!
