Hello, I have a two questions(for now) about cable sleeving.
First off, I know my PSU is fully modular, and that corsair sells individually sleeved cables, but this is not the point.
Basically after trying to do a better job at my cable management, I ran into a few problems; Cables being too long or too short. And also I would like to not modify the original cables, if I ever decide to sell it at some point. This brings me to my questions;
1. After doing some reading about which AWG wire to use, I stumbled upon a few answers;
- When doing Sata cables, 20-22 AWG wire is good enough.
- The 24 pin cable/GPU cables/CPU cable, has to be 16-18 AWG.
Is this correct?
2. When doing the 4 pin molex connectors/Sata power connectors, how do I put them in serial. For an example, when looking at this how am I able to put such a connector in serial, if able at all. If not, can you recommend any?
And as far as I understand, when doing the molex connectors, you just cramp another wire end into the first molex connector, and you can add another molex connector this way?
Thanks a lot for taking your time to read this, and I'd like to thank anyone who can, at least chip in just a bit.
