Do modern PSU's need to be sleeved? I am talking PSU's from CM and Antec and all big PSU suppliers? Thanks.

[Xezmer]

@orestesdd This is an aesthetic mod. Not really a functional, though can be interpreted as one.

Great Vid. but as stated before there's alot of easier ways of getting the the sleeve on the wire than wrestling your finger in there and pushing.

What I do is I take the sleeving and I start with a pencil first, (you want it to be a fresh one, with a blunt tip, not sharp or else you tear the sleeve) then I get one of those pens that start normal and get thicker at the end and expand the sleeve even more to make sure the cables will go in without hassle. add the heat shrink and done.

[Xezmer]

yeah I knew there were more efficient ways it's just at the time none had come up

It usually goes smoother than it had today.

good thing i didn't get my struggle on camera

[Shaylesety]

u have any idea how to connect 4pin to 3pin for gpu?

[mario6117]

Is it possible to go from a 4pin pcie to a 6 pin pcie?

[Serutos]

Those sleeving look ugly. Nothing about you sleeving them but even with the sleeving on you can still see the colours of the cables :/

[THEJEDEYEMASTER]

what about sleeving each cable on the molex? btw, where can I get ez grip molex plugs in black or red? thanks for the video.

@orestesdd

Most modern PSU's have the sleeving already. But not all the way up to the connectors. For example, the gpu cables. Normally the sleeving doesn't go all the way up to the connectors. With this "how to" u can sleeve the last bit of the cable.

Just a example.

[Kylereeves13]

So in your opinion which would be better for sleeving, sleeving all 4 cables on the molex connector for one big wire or sleeving 2 cables for 2 smaller wirse?

[bobbysam232]

size of heatshrink?
