This is used by the PSU to sense and adjust voltage drop. Problem is that it's hard to sleeve than a 1-to-1.
So mounting it it at the bottom of a case and sleeving wouldn't look like the picture you took?

Should be fine, but can't be sure without knowing what case and what motherboard.

Lets see if I can help you:

This IMO looks good.


Now this is how the double wires look.


And this is how the connector looks


Hence, the double wire will be hidden behind the Motherboard, and the nice sleeved connector will be showing. It just takes time. Also this connector was custom made whereby I crimped my own cables. It will take alot less time if you are using the default PSU cables.

Hope I helped.

Oh, so the double wire will be hidden? My main worry was that the connector would look ugly. And yes, I will be using the default PSU cables. I don't know what crimping is. The pictures did help me understand it more, so thanks!

No problem then, as Pratesh said: any folds or double wires you need to make can be hidden behind the motherboard.

Thanks.

Allot of this as been answered, but give a look at the sleeving videos that are stickied in this section. I have made a video dedicated just for double wires. This will allow you to do them without the crazy mess.
