Soldering is probably the easiest part of this process. Nothin to it. Been a few years since I’ve made my own cables. About to give it a go again. I got the same crimper it’s great. So much better than any junk on Amazon. Thank you for the refresh. Good news is I have all the supplies I need ,psi I just need the time to tackle this

criminally underrated video man ill be following this for my T1 build.

That was great man, you really laid out the instructions well. I think I'll give it a shot when I start my NR200 build. Thanks for the guide, and that production quality on point as always

Hey man, just wanted to say you're making some great content. Good editing, clear tutorials, nice camera work. Keep up the good work, and can't wait to see where you'll take the channel!

I worked as a professional crimper for a wire cable company mostly for Intel for a few months. Really liked it but wished I could've tried the other stuff like heatshrinking or sleeving. Thanks for a great video!

Thank you, brother. Your video was significantly helpful to my first sleeve build. THIS WAS GREAT!!

Really amazing idea! I have watched a lot of contents regarding custome cables but no one has tried to split one cable to two cables like this way. Most ideas would be use a short cable to connect two holes of the PSU which are under the same voltage. This could be inaesthetic honestly speaking. Unless you are using a PSU that can be connected with the motherboard by parallel cables then this would be no problem. PS: if you are chasing to have perfect shapes of the cables, you can try to cut different lengths of the cables to make them suitble for their directions. But this would be much more time consuming.

Tks for this I will save for when I am ready for this to be my next project..

great video. folk need to share this, should have way way more views and likes (even though that not soldering part is a little too nooby)

great vids! I was looking for 'cable comb'! it was good you mentioned it! dunno what's the name before.

I've seen custom cables sellers on Etsy doing a "Spoofing" technique. basically instead of doing a Y-connector like you did or using double wires entirely (like stock cables), they crimp double wires on the PSU side and make μ shape. It's a bit cleaner imo since you won't see heatshrink in the middle of the cables.

Great tutorial! Thank you for this!

Good video! Both in production and information. Also looked like the split method used was easier than other's I've seen. Btw, I'd love your input! I'm brand new to this; do you think it's easier to make extensions or re-sleeve stock cables from PSU? I wanna do it with an SFX for NR200P.

Constructive criticism should of heat shrunk your y connection before sleeving

@frankpuccino

This reply must be pinned in order to correct the content of this video, y connection here is fully exposed to braided sleeving but should be covered with insulators like heat shrinks before it contacts to a metal. Making small mistakes like this becomes the reason why lots of people argue diy custom cabling might actually be hazardous

excellent thank you

Could you just sleeve the existing psu cables? Just remove the connector, sleeve them and put them back?

I have become ridiculously good at sleeving but I have been searching for a new method. I might have to come up with it on my own. I noticed that the CableMod cables are actually crimped ON to the sleeving as opposed to melting. It makes it a lot cleaner. I want to try this. Have you?

@AliOxen

I haven't tried that yet but I have definitely slowed down the amount of custom cables just because of how intense the process is that I show in this video. I have an entirely different type of cable I'm about to try and maybe you'll find that interesting. It's likely not practical in most scenarios but there are no KZread videos about the process, if it goes well 🤞

i use ferrules instead of crimp terminals

This was awesome and also a very relaxing video to watch :D. Really helpful as I'm currently looking into making my own cables. Do you happen to know if there is somewhere that you can buy low profile psu connectors?

im not sure about low profile connectors but i've been looking to source more connectors from aliexpress, they have a lot of variations I've never seen before

could I hire you to make them custom wires for my pc case?

I am looking to make a custom 2 pin power switch do you know in the pins are the same as the axt cables.

I love pc build. I have SN 28B Jaw not have CNC (No brand,blue color,8$) it can crimped ATX “female” terminal is good. But my SN28B (no brand)is can’t crimped ATX “male” terminal it very bad crimp. I want know your CTX3 jaw have CNC it can crimped ATX “male” terminal can or not?? Thank you i wait you.

still don't understand how to read pinout chart...shows 12v, 5v, 3.3v, etc. color codes in were they go or do I just read the pinout with double wire, no wire, double wire opposite end?

@AliOxen

3 жыл бұрын

I haven't gotten too deep into the voltages, even though that would make it easier to understand, I look for pinouts that list the socket numbers rather than the wire voltage

can i ask, why do you cut the heat shrink off after using it?

@AliOxen

Just a design preference for the sleeving going into the connectors

I know it involves taking the PSU housing off but I need to make sure I can show people the safe way to do it because that can kill you if not done properly. Definitely have that video down the line soon

If you're not a trained electrician or electrical engineer I'd strongly advice against opening up your PSU. Not only does it void your warranty, but also even if you did a proper discharge it's still quite possible to kill yourself when you touch the wrong thing.

I still don’t understand the pinout diagram. If all the cables are using female atx and you account for no pin and double wires what else is the diagram for?

@AliOxen

2 жыл бұрын

The diagram shows exactly where the pins connect. There are around 42 different pin mount points in just a 24 pin cable alone, and they all have specific functions. Each manufacturer has a different pinout so having the correct one will make sure there aren't any terrible results from running electricity through the wrong pins.

so... the "heat shrinking" step, is really to protect the paracord, while you are fusing it to itself. Then the heatshrink is cut away entirely?

@AliOxen

yeah I use the heatshrink to fuse the paracord to the connector and then cut it away, this style is called heatshrinkless but it's perfectly acceptable to keep it there as well. I just chose not to

You might wanna mention most of the technique from your video is from Lutro0 Customs and Singularity Computers. Credit should be mentioned where credit is deserved.

Yup, they definitely make custom cables 👍

you shouldn't be messing with the wire gauge based on personal preference. if the power supply uses 18AWS as standard then switching to 17AWS will affect it's performance. Unless the power supply explicitly says that you can use a range of gauges, don't arbitrarily change. While 17gauge might be easier to handle because it's thicker and fills the paracord more fully, the larger strand size means you're going to have different capacitance and resistance ratings..so in essence, the total load (amps) you are able to get will be effected...could result in hardware damage to other components in your build..or worse, could cause a fire. might want to use a techflex or paracord that is fire resistant or has thermal dissipation properties like firecord..but really you shouldn't have to worry about that if you're using the correct gauge.

Bruh, where’d you get that from? That isn’t true, that only applies if you use lower gauge than the stock cables. If you do use lower gauge than the wire can melt and cause a fire but not higher gauge…. Actually do the research and stop spreading misinformation
