Hi experts! i've been thinking of sleeving some of my cable:
1. 24 pin connector
2. PCIe 6 pin connector

I don't want to mod my PSU cable since it will void the warranty (it's only 2 months old). So i decided to build the connectors from scratch. The only info i can't found from the internet is, to connect which cable from the male housing to the female housing or vise versa, and what cable to use other than the 18 gauge cause i read some PSU manufacturer uses more than 1 type of cable.

My PSU is Seasonic S12ii 620watt Bronze, mobo is GA970-DS3P rev.1, GPU is Sapphire R9 280

Thanks in advance!

Yes, for an extension cable it's just straight through. They're already routed to the correct pins, the ATX pinout is a standard, if manufacturers all pinned out differently, it would be an unholy mess. Dell did this a long time ago, using their own pinout but using the same connector... it didn't go over very well when discovered.


Thanks for the link Saberus, it's very useful. But what i really mean is,

let's say i insert the first wire to pin hole no.1 in the male socket, do i just insert the other end of the first wire to pin hole no.1 in the female socket and so on?

Or is there a particular order, example: male socket pin hole no.3 to female socket pin hole no.21?

Or i just simply fill up all the pin hole from male to female socket since it's just an extender serve as a "bridge" from PSU to motherboard, the order doesn't really matter because the 24pin cable of the PSU is individually correctly placed by manufacturer?

Sorry for the bad English, do you get what i mean?
