Sleeving question. . . I am curious . .

Thread Starter 
I want to get a sleeving kit for my PSU. But the way my PSU is made(SATA Power cords) it would be impossible to sleeve it when a traditional sleeve kit. So what I am wondering is, has anyone found a solution or way to sleeve a PSU without having to take off any of the connectors?

You could get larger sleeving and larger heath shrink covers that fit over the connectors, but I am not sure how that would look.

If you want to sleeve your PSU, just remove the connectors. There are plenty of places to get the pin removal tool to make the process simpler, if a bit time consuming.

Thanks for your feedback. In the future, I am going to upgrade my PSU for a SLI compatible one. I only have a 600W now. Probably a Corsair 750 or so. I plan on running two SLI and I have seen where corsair makes sleeve kits for their PSU's. I will spend a little more, but I won't have to do it myself, worry about crossing a wire, or voiding my warranties.

You could always just buy sleeved PSU extensions, corsair makes them.

I have seen those around. They look awesome, just not what I am looking for since my PSU is paritally modular.
