Individualy Sleeving Cables (need help)

Thread Starter 
So I plan on sleeving the cables on my TX750M and I just need a little help with the things I should be getting. First of all I can't find a good set of... I guess you would call them "modding tools" I'm talking about the tools you need to remove the pins for molex adapters and 6-pin adapters or whathaveyou. So if someone good direct me in the right direction that would be great. Also what would you personally recommened in the way of the sizing of sleeves for individually sleeving. I plan on going with a black and red color scheme so also patterns would be apprciated if you have any suggestions.

One last thing, I wasn't 100% sure on where to post this topic but I figured since it is regaurding PSUs, this would be the right place so sorry in advanced if I'm in the wrong place.

frozencpu.com should have all of your needs. 1/8" sleeving for individual wires, they sell pin removing tools as well.

Honestly just get these:

http://www.corsair.com/us/power-supply-units/psu-accessories/professional-series-enthusiast-series-txm-series-individually-sleeved-modular-cables-red.html

Youll save so much time and money.


But the ammount depends on how much you actually want to sleeve.

(1) 24pin X 3'

(1) 8pin X 3'

(1) 10pin pcie X 3'

126 feet. Id say just get 200ft so you have plently of extra.

Well I don't use the modular cables at all and I want to do it myself. So buying these would defeat the whole purpose of doing it In the first place for me. Also I'm just sleeving one 24 pin two 6 pins and one 8 pin.

it takes a lot of time to sleeve correctly.


I would start off buy buying MDPC-X Sleeve first and foremost. To sleeve an entire psu, you need around 250-300 feet of sleeve, plus around 400 pieces of Heatshrink. You could get the molex tools from MDPC also...


Also I would look this section for more help

Well I'm just trying to sleeve one 24 pin two 6 pins and one 8 pin so how much do you think I need for that? Is there a way to find out without actually physically measuring the wires?

150 pieces of heatshrink
I would say around 175 - 200 feet of sleeve. Thats giving you a little extra just in case of mistakes. Trust me you will make some mistakes.
