impressive. But i agree if your not too familiar with crimping and wires esp for an extension cable i suggest buying them off crysis only because you do NOT want to short your gpu/mobo ^^
great write up!

Congrats on the sticky dude, this guide is great. I would still be too afraid to do it myself until I practice a bunch. That MDPC sleeving is expensive after all.
Here's to a great guide and your continued business!

Thanks again :)
Jeffro: BTW I got mine at Home Depot for $22.
Drazhar: I have a TON of scrap MDPC sleeving (cut too short and such). PM me if you're interested.

heres a table that shows sleeving size to # of wires each can hold(Crys1s helped me out with this one) 1/8" = 1 wire 3/16" = 2 wires /stretched = 1 wire 1/4" = 3-4 wires 3/8" = 6-8 wires 1/2" = 10-16 wires 5/8" = 18-24 wires (best to use two layers of sleeving on the 24pin unless wires are all black) 1"+ = 26+ wires

Question, What guage wire would you use to make a "Y" splitter cable? 18awg looks a bit to big to have two of them crimped on the same pin(s)

22 AWG should work well. Thanks for posting the table!

Crys1s where do you get your black 18 AWG stranded wires and what's the model/item #? Do you use 18 AWG on all of your cable work?

This is the manufacturer: link If you don't need it in bulk, McMaster distributes it for a reasonable price. I do use 18 awg on all my extension cables.

Actually to all who cares, my father owns an Industrail supply company, He just gave me 500ft of Black and red 18guage wire, and sells it on spools of 100', I can check pricing if your interested, He has 10 different colors of 18guage wire. @ Crys1s, No problem man, and I decided to try using 14guage stranded copper wire for my 24pin motherboard, and PCIe 8/6pin connecters, since its the same size as two 18guage wires togeather for cables that dont split off to another connecter

Great guide, Crys1s.
The only thing you didn't emphasize enough is how difficult (and time consuming) it is to make sure you get all you wires back into the right slots in the connector - especially when you try it the first time.
(note - that wasn't a criticism, just wanting to make sure everyone appreciates there's a lot of labor / know how that goes into the custom service you're offering).

Alright, Wire pricing is $10.50 per 100ft spool of 18guage wire reguardless of color, shipping cost is dependent on how many spools of wire. Took some pics, ill post them up here when I get home.

+1 To rewire everything in a PSU and the cost of the tools needed will run you over $200 easily, then you have the time factor in it as well.
