Sleeving is not hard men ...and actually it is pretty easy ....

the best practice is read a lot of sleeving guide in the internet first then develop ur own way to do it ....

anyway just recommedation from me

get few different size of flat screw driver (best is smallest u can get )

to remove the wires from the molex u can use the screw driver or other method to push the two pins within the molex that holding it.

before u remove best practice is to label it so that wont get confuse ,,

after that u are ready to sleeve it ...choose any color measure the distance and cut it out but 1 inch shorter at both side for you to have room for heatshrink to fit in once u done....

to have the sleeve goes through the wires u could use different way but the best i tried is hold the area that u have slot it ...then push the other end so that i creates a big wide gap and that gap is for the sleeve to go through the wires head without scrathing it much ....so once u get the desired gap size to fit through the wires head then let go off the end that u slot in earlier....

finished it just cut 1.5 inch long sleeve or shorter if u prefer ...then place it overlap portion of the sleeve and the wires ...then grab a candle or hair dryer to blow it until it shrink accordingly... make sure u use heatshrink that has just nice size ....

do beware heatshrink u get from those modding company such as Vantec and those u get from the local electronic hardware shop has different degree of heat acceptance ...

basically modding heatshrink is softer and the heat level stand is lower .... while those hardware shrink can stand up higher degree of heat so hair dryer does not work well here.....

basically that's all then just push back the pin of the wires and slot it back to molex connector accordingy ....

like u said it depend on the preference ,,,,but slightly longer allowed u to cover and hold the sleeve for sure .... so good for beginner .....

for experience modder usually measures according to the thickness of the cables that u try to sleeve through .....

use more for thicker while shorter for slimmer ..

Guess u are right in that sense, I also hardly would let my system be in the same condition all the time...

always wanted ato try new ideas and ways .... but too bad never got the time due to heavy study load and low budget issues....guess like many of others....

how often most people could change their stuff as often as u men ... so envy of you ....

maybe could ask Uncle Ianho for some detail .. he has done if before ...

just pm him and hope he spare some times to share his secret...

please to be helpful when giving suggestion....

U could google internet for the sleeving process ... i have read it some where few years back ... the entire connector was removed before sleeving ... very tedius process.

I dont think and hardly seen sleeving kit available at PC fair ...

i will be going 2mr .. so will see got it or not ...

wah ... u are really looking for the most convenient way..

hmm maybe uglyvamp could get it done since he did a lot of sleeving in the past ...

maybe he could make up a comprehensive guide .. .

the first one u could just sleeve through both bunch of wires then take out wires of the shorter side for another sleeving. hmm

A wires conenctor to PSU
B wires use to connect to HDD and etc.

Sleeve together both A and B, then take out the B again for the following sleeving job.

as for the second type of plug, it's very difficult and require lots of patience. there's guide at the front page.. hope u find it useful coz comes with photo, it's in the 4th post by courtesy of Uglyvamp.

maybe the dust stuck in between the motor of the fan.. maybe need to clean the dust.

I think RM35 of investment that solve ur problem along with time spent.. it's worth it beside it's for the good of ur finger health as well..

nth come easily that's why patient with the sleeving job...

Get the fan removed and clean the motor through out...make sure dust are removed and grease or lubricant is applied after that ..

wah . then i must got they and see our sleeve master perform in action ...

anyway it would be at LYP or the car park.... coz it's dying hot in the car park .. i wonder how i could sleeve with sweating hands..

I am looking forward ...

yah it's great but held at night ... . .. . . .. . . hmm i hope can make it ...

@id86

What aren't u satisfied with .???

From my point of view, it's pretty much well done ...

Here is the part 2 Part 2

hmm ... good guide but not so in detail, the guide that gary put up at the front page is even better ..

the part 2 is absolutely bull shit ... there's no guide at all .. just a simply show u the magic.

Vantec kit is good in one sense but poor in another .. most of time u would over spent coz like Rodney said ..

you would need two packs of those to get a PSU done with few excessive sleeves.

So it's much more better if the sleeves are purchase at the size and length needed separately

Besides the heat shrink that comes with vantec could shrink a lot but it's not firm and a bit soft ... good for bending the cable after sleeve but can't hold the cables well.. which why cable tie is used by Rodney in the part 1..

overall I would appreciate the quality of vantec's sleeves but not the heat shrink .... better go for industrial grade .. lot more cheaper, more size selection and holds better ...

come come .. u have been missing from the thread for long long time dude ..

anyway ... got new teaser for us to wash our eyes ...

Don't use lighter bro .. .get a candle much more easier to work around with it ..

got extra hand to hold the sleeve and cable properly ...

That's the most secure but expensive solution ...

hehe .. but it would be nice to have it if often do cables sleeving stuffs ..

else cheapo solution would be candle ...

@xcoolpc
I've tried hair dryer but it really took the sweet time ...

could google around ... loh ..

not necessary have to view from the first post ..

although it's one of the most complete guide ...

go check out bulk order section there's few seller that got those kit ready for sale ...
