psu sleeving question

[flutie98]

when my new ocz 520w psu comes in the next few days im gonna sleeve it, now the question would one vantec black sleeving kit fit everything? or would i need 2

[Ramuman]

I just ordered the Vantec sleeving kit for my Antec 400W Smart Power. It seems like there will be enough tubing, but I'll let you know when I get it. I have some other cables I want to sleeve too like my SATA cable to match the others.

ok thnx, one more question did you need to get a molex remover as well? or can it just fit over the connectors?

[thrawn86]

nope, you'll need to pull the molexs off. It's very possible to do with a bent paperclip, but a molex remover makes it soo much easier.

There's sleeving to fit the ATX motherboard power connector right? Other then the video card aux power connector, that's the only power connector I have showing so I'm hoping to cover that first. I ordered a molex remover to get the 20 pin header off.

yeah ive made custom cables usign a saftey pin but it is a pain in the arse, ill just grab a remover

[Ramuman]

I forgot that the ATX/12V connector uses a different pin and didn't order an extractor. I've only found an extractor for those pins at frozencpu for 25 bucks. Is there a cheap way to get them off? It's a lot tighter fit then the molexs.

You can use a Jewelers Screw Driver or a Eye Glass Repair Kit one.

Even for the ATX power connector? It's really thin. Would I put one on either side?

I used a nail for the damn molex.

You definatelly need to remove them, but the problem is you never gonna eb able to remove the molex off the Serial ATAs.

And i never been able to remove molex off the Floppy power.

And also, never been able to remove the 3 pins molexes.

In fact, the only molex ive been able to remove are the 4 pins LOL.



Like you see, i just bought a Electrical tape the same color of the Sleeving kit and it did the job pretty well. Especially since those part are not visible.
