@@rockyo27 Regarding wire gauge, AWG 18 is the max that can be used anything larger can’t be crimped onto the terminal and it wont fit within the socket also. So I would not recommend doing so. AWG 16 has more than enough AMP carrying capacity at 12v to deliver upto 150w so anything larger is not needed but I use AWG 16 as I had them at that time and also it is kinda thick so you can make them stay in the shape you need easily than AWG 18. Regarding the price of the cable of above mentioned size will be around 250rs without shipping.
@@immolationepoch The heatshrink is at the PSU end so it is easy to hide as such I use them in three layers(First to hold the sleeve, Second to hold the two wires from the gpu side, Third to hold the joint of the three wires) to make sure the joint stays put and provide enough stress relief for the cable. To be honest it can be reduced by about 1/3rd but I just wanted to make sure it is as safe as possible than going for looks. Thanks for the tip and encouraging words
Another Custom Job that I did for @@rajch2002
A custom power and signal cable for external radiator and fan controller, Consisting of three parts,
Part 1: Motherboard(USB header) & PSU(4 pin connector, not yet decided on the psu, so socket selection has not been done) to case end(6 pin female din connector), All sleeved with black paracord
Part 2: computer case end(6 pin male din connector) to radiator case end(6 pin male din connector), Single 6mm sleeve using a plastic sleeve
Part 3: Radiator case end(6 pin female din connector) to Fan controller(custom 8pin JST-SM connector) & Radiator(4 pin molex connector), a combination of single plastic sleeve and individual paracord sleeve.
@@b.life I have a set of PSU extension sleeves that i was hoping to get modified. Do you take job requests such as this?
Let me know please, ill share more details on what im looking to do with extension cables
@@DrDanger357 Yes I do undertake those work. Please PM me the details.
Just for conformation if the cable is under warranty then any modification will void it.
Recently did a custom length 12VHPWR cable,
Specs:
2x8Pin PCI-E to 1x12VHPWR, Both Sense 0(S3),1(S4) populated for max 600w power draw, all 4 signal pins populated for looks. Signal pins S1,S2 are terminated inside the sleeve for better looks.
All wires sleeved with black paracord, singal wires are bundled together as individual sleeving is not possible(can be done but not worth it in my opinion)
Sorry to everyone who have messaged me regarding custom cables, I was away for the past couple of months and so was not active on the board. Now that I am back I have replied to all of you that have messaged me. If I didn’t then I missed your message somehow so please do drop me a message.
Some of the works that was done recently(recently is stretching it, a proper term will be couple of months ago)
Forgot for whom this one was made, 1x24PIN Motherboard cable, 2xPCIE Cable and 1xEPS Cable
HDPLEX 250W GaN ATX PSU Mods
The Default connector was too big so the connector was replaced with MR30 for compactness. Also a the top plate and side plate was replaced with 0.8mm aluminum with top plate having mounting holes for a 4020 FAN. The Aluminum plate was polished to mirror finish for extra shine and now works as a fingerprint magnet
The interface between the cable from the wall socket and GaN PSU was changed as well, the single MR30 is terminated in a acrylic sheet where the MR30 is mounted with a custom 3d printed mounting bracket. This helps it to hold it in place and allows easy of mounting the acrylic sheet in the standard IEC socket of the computer case.
4 PIN case fan splitter cable. The end with 3 pin has its rpm link removed so that one fan will provide the rpm and the PWM signal is passed to both the fans.
Hi !!! I’m still using the cables! They make my eGPU setups looks pretty
I actually learned a lot about the cable pinouts of various PSUs during the process and then how to test them. Very thankful to him.
Cables made were 24 pin ATX and GPU 8 pins for corsair and seasonic psus.
I have also received the AWG16(1.5mmsq) wires. These are thin wires used in 12VHPWR power cables. The outer diameter of these wires is 2mm, normal electrical wires wont fit inside the terminal pins and as such these thin wires are needed.
Recently I made a couple of 8 Pin PCIE cable and for reference got the original PCIE cable. On the original cable everything looked fine on the outside, but the pins looked kinda dark when viewed through the holes. I got suspicious and de-pined them and two +12v pins had heat affected zones.
So I would suggest that when you clean your pc, please check the cables not just on the outside but also the pins. It should be either White(tin plating) or Golden(gold plating).
Recently a MB cable came in for re-crimping, the issue was that when the cable is shaken the power connection is lost. And when I de-pinned the wires on the MB side(24 pin side) the terminal pins(Metal pins inside the plastic connectors) had their opening pushed further apart than what was considered normal. This lead to loose contact and all power issues. The use didn’t know how it became as such.
So when you unplug and connect the cables please take care. As once the pins are bent there is no way to put them back, only option is to cut them out and re-crimp them again.
