Hello I am here with some DIY.
This Do-It-Yourself is about cable sleeving of PSU wires for better Cable management.
This Saturday I went to visit my Scrap yard Friend how is a scrap dealer, as I was waiting for second LCD to add to my LCD post on my cabinet.
Luckily he had a PSU circuit board with no body and all the cables were missing. But it was heavy and looks like branded one. It was having secondary components burned and their part numbers were missing. After doing some bargaining I got it for Rs.125/-.
Send the pic to a friend at Xtreme System, came to know that it’s a Cooler Master extreme 600W PSU without Active PF. And burned component are Power MOSFETs are two Toshiba K2968 N-Channel 900v 10amp, PWM IC is TL3842P, Bridge are GBU806 8amp rating.
After hunting for parts in local electronics shop it got
Two ST N-Channel 600v 12amp MOSFET (Since Toshiba MOSFET are not available)
TL3842P IC
Two GBU1006 bridge (since 8amp model were out of stock)
Soldering all parts together. Added extra copper heat sink it bridge rectifiers. And tested “IT’s ALIVE.â€
Now had to hunt for cables.
Got 24 pin, 4 pin, molex connectors for old psu, made 6pin PCIe power pin by modding the power pin comes with every GFX. Just increased it length. Now looking for five pin sata connectors.
For cable sleeving, since heatsrink and the cable sleeve are not available, I used 5mm wide black silk ribbon for local fancy store and fixed both end points with Feviquick .
Total sleeving cost
Ribbon 5 m @ Re.1 = Rs.5/-
Feviquick = Rs.5/-
Now just wound the ribbon around the wires so that they become as single big cable.
Don’t wound too tight, make it free hand work. This way the flexibility of wire remains and can easily be installed in your care.
And result is below.
Hope you all like it.
Thanking
