Always wanted to make custom PSU cables but didn't know how? This instruction will show you how to do it, and pay less than pre-made sets. Custom sleeved cables are the cherry on top of the cake that our custom PC build is. Of course you can buy custom set of cables or extensions and call it a day but if you have free time on your hands and you love doing things on your own, creating own custom PSU cables will give a nice personal touch to your build. In this video ill come over few important aspects of creating custom sleeved cables, ill be showing how to sleeve few cables, not entire PSU, hopefully its enough for you to catch what it is about and how to do it. Also, in my video you can learn how to to custom PSU cables without using any shrink tubes, this method is not that popular but it creates very good and nicely looking cables and is perfect for making thick AWG16 cables. 0:40 The tools 2:02 The sleeving 2:53 The wires 4:20 The Crimping tool 7:03 Preparing wire and attaching terminals 13:10 Preparing the sleeving 18:27 The heatshrink tube less method 22:08 Attaching terminal on second end 26:21 Inserting terminal into connector 28:39 The end + advices Tools/Materials highlight: Crimping tool - instead of using overpriced Molex tools or others offered by "special" PC modding shops i used very cheap tool called SN-48B available at Chinese shops like aliexpress, banggood etc. I find the results of using this tool to be extremely satisfying: https://i.imgur.com/Iot7BZn.jpg Sleeving - instead of using some "special" sleeving sold by PC modding shops I choose... standard Paracord. It comes in many colours, its available in large quantities in military shops and outlets and its very durable. Once you pull out the "core" you can freely slide your cable inside it and it fits on AWG18 and AWG16 cables very well Cables - most of PSU manufacturers use AWG18 cables, i choose AWG16 cables for extra thickness which makes it easier to train them (keep shape), as for the brand, we want a cables with basic certificates made according to some standard to ensure their quality, i choose HELUKABEL UL1007 AWG16 wires but you might need to choose some local alternatives (tho the UL1007 is international standard) Connectors/terminals - these depend on what cables are you doing, for full PSU cable replacement you will need ATX24 plugs, EPS12 and PCIE GPU plugs (they are different, pay attention to shape of pins) and terminals which are called Mini-Fit Jr Female (official molex name). For making sata power cables, the terminals often come with the plug itself The heatshrink tube less method - this is special method very suitable for thick wires (AWG16), it does not use any heatshrink tube that could increase diameter of wire, instead we use a loop made out of durable nylon thread to keep sleeving in place, this is general schematic of this method https://i.imgur.com/C05hO05.png and here is instruction how to use a very nice self tightening knot to make it a whole lot easier https://i.imgur.com/3W3Zs3F.jpg Basic step by step instructions: Cut the cable to size (not too short but not too long, depends on what case you use) Attach terminal on 1st end (leave other empty as it will be sleeving entry point) Cut sleeving to size (about 3-5 cm longer than cable to account for stretching) Put the sleeving on cable Use self tightening knot to secure sleeve on terminal end Cut sleeving to size Expose wire and attach 2nd terminal Secure sleeving on 2nd end with self tightening knot Insert terminals to plugs Repeat for every cable A word of advice for making full replacement PSU cables: ALWAYS DO YOUR OWN WIRING DIAGRAM, measure each cable one by one and write down from which pin they go and where they go to ensure your cables will be exactly as the original, here is an example schematic that I made for Seasonic Prime 650 Gold https://imgur.com/a/EIfJc Feel free to ask questions under video if you want to know more about this mod, sleeving cables, RGB's, streaming or PC building and ill be happy to help.
