Done 23 wires. Tomorrow I'll solder the Y split from pin 13 to pin 20.


PSU tester gives same numbers as with the original Silverstone ATX24 cable.

Nice. I just jury-rigged my 24-pin together and apparently it's working fine. We'll see what I end up doing once the replacement 24-pin cable gets here.

Could you make a short extension to do the "twist" and then have a "tidy" extension to the mo-bo ? thumb.gif

I thought about this. If I had a full tower case then it would be the obvious solution. But in my case there's only about five, six inches between the PSU and the motherboard. To have male/female plugs in the middle of this, plus the twist itself would end up more than half of that, leaving not very much in the way of a tidy section. Better then to do the twist over the whole length. Or what Alekazee ended up doing: shuffle the wires around and coil it nicely inside the PC.

I have finished my cable incidentally, but wanted to redo some of the colours before posting a final pic. I had two aquamarine wires in there which looked odd compared with b-magic and grand bleu. Nils now sells aquamarine mark II, which is more blue-ish, less green-ish, so I ordered some of that. And also ordered some grey mark II which might replace four black wires.

I have a question regarding some of the wires and how they cross over. Do the connections matter as much as keeping the voltage the same? For example, on the CPU power cable that has 4 yellow 12v and 4 black ground, do the order in which they (the 12v yellow cables) connect from the PSU to the motherboard? Will I totally mess up my components if I don't have them in the order they were connected initially?

On a larger scale, as long as I keep the colour of the cables (and therefore the voltage) matched, does where they go matter as much?


Thanks guys, I am still a total n00b at this.

Indeed it doesn't matter. As you can maybe see in my post #11, I've shifted most of the wires around and the PSU still works and shows the same voltages as the cable which came with the unit.

To be fair, the bad layout is because of the orientation in a small case, with the PSU fan-down above the motherboard. If the PSU could be mounted the other way, ie away from the motherboard, or reversed with fan upwards, then the situation isn't so bad: just some interleaving needed. I checked the other Striders and apparently they all have the same pinout since 2009 models. The double wire isn't so bad, it's just one and Lutro0 has a video to solve this problem.

You said you successfully sleeved the PSU without the double wire, though, right?
