post #251 of 577
Hey guys. Wanted to let you guys know what I found with my pci-e cables.

While sleeving one of them, I noticed that one of my colors got off meaning it went to a hole that the other side hadn't. What I did was break out the multimeter and the other stock cables. What I found was that all three cables were aired different. redface.gif

Basically, the yellow wires on the 12 pin correspond to each of the other connectors. Looking at the right or left side of the 12 pin, there are three yellow wires on each side. The far right yellow wire on the right or left side goes to the far right hole of the video card end. Middle to middle and left to left.

Any of you guys with multimeters, could you check your cables with the continuity setting?

When they assemble the cables although they match 12V to 12V and Ground to Ground they otherwise appear to assemble them randomly. When you sleeve them you can line up the 12V and Ground cables so that they look neat, watching out for the 2 Ground wires on the additional +2 connector.

I might have misunderstood what you were saying though.

From my pics, I showed that those are two different pcie cables. I tested the right side 12 pin and the right side video card end. The difference there is that one of the yellow wires are different.

I think what he is saying is that all the yellow cables are 12V and all the black cables are ground. That would mean that the order of the cables wouldn't matter as long as the 12V goes to the 12V hole and the ground goes to the ground hole.

Just got my other Seasonic PSU! Now I've got the 1000w and 860w. wheee.gif

The computer is ripped apart again for some more components to be installed and for my optical drive to be painted so this is the best picture I've got. rolleyes.gif

Hi guys. Here's a pic from my build log of my 1000. I actually just ordered another 1000 for my upcoming CL SM8 build. Great psu's, a real pain to take apart for sleeving. In fact, I don't bother now, I just make my own cable sets.
After I tried to depin my first Seasonic 24 pin I wrecked the connectors and ended up ordering another one from George at Antron Electronics, as well as some 10 and 18 pin connectors. Actually the first 24/18/10 pin set I made wouldn't "jump start" although when plugged into motherboard it worked just fine. That was a trip to sort through but eventually I got it all straightened out.
I started making up a new set of wiring for my Switch to change the sleeve colors but instead I'll be building one for the SM8. I made my own pinout diagrams to keep myself straight on the wiring. Anyone ever found a genuine "Seasonic" pinout diagram for the platinum 1000?
