yesterday i try sleeve the 6 pin pcie power connector,the red color heatshrink become chocolate after i burn it with lighter

and the 3/4 inch heatshrink become smaller and smaller when i slide it across the cable due to my hand's temperture finally it stuck at the middle

u dont need to burn it.. just let it kena heat already can ler..
a good experience, so now u know, later u do it again, it will be ok. perhaps..

lol...not burn la... warm it is already enough... later ur sleeve also will be having holes if u "warm" it too close

just try to be careful

is really a nice exp

now the only thing i don't no how to remove is the sata lol

For heat shrink, the best way to make it shrink without burning it is by using a Hair Dryer. For me that is the best method. It take a bit longer then lighter but you will get the best result out of it since there will be no burning mark whatsoever.

Try it

Guys... my sata cable broke already ... how i need to do or anyone selling it ?? How to change it ????

my house no hair dryer leh,but jus now i try sleeve my sata cable ,then i use the gas cooker to heat it,safe than use lighter,but oso a bit stupid coz i hold too long and the sata cable's plastic connector start to melt but good experience oso la,and i dunno how to remove the atx 24 pin leh,even follow the guide i oso cannot push the wire out

both side of pin got locking mechanism, just using staple pin to unlock it. you can modify small screw driver into pin removal.

needle oso can to use it rite

u betul betul modding ke?

yeah, as long as the pin can go in and unlock it without damage the pin and connector

here is a example of my removal, actually i had been posted long time ago, but missing. i had been using it for 1/2 year.

i tried using the needle and staple to remove the 24 pin ,but cant oso,maybe i not patient enough,the staple become bengkok when i push it down,and needle oso seems not easy to use..will try it again when i really realy free

xk2, where can get heatshrink in malacca? Im using a heatshrink that's a littke too big my wires And off topic, which shop in malacca got lots of pc stuff?

The first time when sleeve my psu, I tried the staple method but it bent too easily. My guess is you used your finger to press from the top.
So I used xcoolpc's mini screwdriver method. It's easy for the molex, but not for the 24pin/pcie/8pins.

Second time sleeving, I tried with the staple again. This time I forced it down using a plier.
Pushed it down easily and realised this method is faster and easier.
It takes a few tries to get it perfect.

I can gladly explain further if you need more help. I have a psu waiting to sleeve, so could probably snap some pics.

using plier ar? erm,will try next time when i back hometown



i buy from forumer here,not from melaka shop,those shop really stupid i go and tell them i wan heatshrink,they ask me : ''wat is tat?'' i think in melaka only got one computer shop tat sell many pc stuff,name is stygish in bukit beruang,and i think u better dun ask them about sleeving kit,they sure ask u wat is tat they dun even know got ''ram cooler'' on this world
