PSU Wire Sleeving

Proper wire sleeving of Silverstone PSU Here we illustrate using a Silverstone brand power supply unit how to properly “sleeve” wires. It’s not enough that you have a fancy looking rig, it also pays to bundle your wires neatly for that extra sleek look! For PCmodders who want to make their wiring look neat when looking into the PC casing, Here’s how it’s done:

Tools we use: 4 Pin Molex Removal Tool. A special improvised tool used mainly for removing pins of both female and male IDE Power connectors

Precision Flat Screw Driver. This is used for removing pins of ATX Connectors

The wires are composed of; 1-24pin ATX, dual 6-pin PCI connectors, 1-8pin EPS 12 connector, 2- triple SATA connector, 2-triple 4-pin IDE connector and single floppy connectors which we will bundle by using sleeves.

First, we sleeve the 5-pin SATA cable.

Make a sketch of all the connectors and take note of the color of the wiring so as not to get confused when the bundle is assembled and sleeved.
