Modding, PSU sleeving

[patrichpachich]

I planning to get sleeving service for my seasonic 660w platinum but its kinda pricey vs the silverstone/bitfenix cable solutions

I am worried if im getting these sleeved ready cables if the quality of cables are bad. I mean the cables of seasonic platinum are pretty solid but bitfenix/silverstone is not that good

-Sleeving service of my seasonic cables for $100

-Sleeved cable solution for $60

For custom sleeved cables, you can go for CableMod SE-series,

I did contact Seasonic about CableMod's custom sleeved cables with the worry if it voids my 12 years of warranty on my PRIME 650 80+ Titanium PSU, which powers my Skylake build (full specs in my sig). Seasonic did reply to me and they said that CableMod is their partner, while their cables are good quality and made according the specifications of Seasonic's own cables. Since i got reassured by Seasonic, i'm currently in the process of obtaining red colored full cable kit for my Skylake build.

Unluckily, I dont live in US, I am in Philippines.
I am starting to consider getting silverstone sleeves http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=372&area=en

You might also consider doing it yourself. There's some great guide videos on youtube that'll show you how. If it's a fully modular PSU it's pretty easy, all you need to do is make a good wiring diagram.

Even i don't live in the States but in Northern Europe. So far, my living location hasn't been issue for international shipping (my HUE+ LED connector cable arrived safely which was sent from NZXT's Los Angeles, CA division).

Though, knowing how to use the Google helps a lot,

Silverstone's custom sleeved power cables are extensions and i don't think those meet the high quality standard of stock Seasonic power cables that come with the PSU. But to be sure, contact Seasonic directly and ask them about Silverstone's custom sleeved power cable extensions, with link to the product page. Just like i did with CableMod's full cable kit.

already thought about that, but tools would be pricey here, and kinda hard to find. Also I want to save time. sleeving service would take 5 - 7 days

Of course I did some research like DIY custom sleeving, Online store and sleeving service.

Online store abroad is not really my option since shipping would cost me more compare to local sleeving service. + shipping time.

I will try to contact seasonic about silverstone, but since you stated they likely dont meet high quality, I am thinking to go for sleeving service

The thing with PC eyecandy is, is that most components have premium price. Especially those which contain 16.8 million RGB lightning (e.g fans, LEDs, KB, mouse, headset, mousepad etc).
Good quality custom sleeved power cables are also pricey. For example, i'm hoping to get my CableMod full cable kit for €150 (8160 PHP), give or take €25 (1360 PHP).

If you don't want to pay premium price, go with the option that suits your wallet the best.

Note: low quality power cables can cause short circuits and they can also melt under high power load.
