What EXACTLY do I need to Custom Sleeve?

[Victor_66]

Hey guys! I'm looking to custom cable sleeve my gaming rig. Heres the parts.

CASE: NZXT Razer Special Edition H440 (Modded the exact same way Singularity Computers did it in Client Build 18)
CPU: i7-7700k
MOTHERBOARD: MAXIMUS IX CODE z270 Chipset
RAM: 32GB of G-Skill Trident-Z RGB 3000Mhz (I didn't bother getting 4133+ because isn't the difference the matter of 3 FPS?)
GPU: ASUS Strix GTX 1080Ti OR Asus Poseidon 1080Ti (BOTH of these have 8+8 pin EPS)
COOLING: Custom Water Loop Config [Hard Tube] + 6 RGB CoolerMaster MasterFan Pro RGB 120mm
-Pump: EK PWM D5 G2 MOTOR (12V)
-Reservoir: Bitspower Upgrade Kit 200 (Both the Bottom, and Top)
STORAGE: 500GB Intel 600p + 500GB Intel 600p (RAID 0 CONFIG for Lightning Speed)]
Peripherals: NZXT Hue+, NZXT Grid+

AND FINALLY...............The PSU

-I run a EVGA SUPERNOVA G2 850 Watt Gold Grade PSU. How would I custom sleeve it? I would greatly appreciate if somebody can get me an EXACT estimate of what I need to sleeve my cables. --I plan to use 16AWG for my core components, 18AWG for my Molex/Data, and 22AWG for my Fans/Front Panel.
-I also plan to go Heat-Shrinkless. Im pretty confident in my cable sleeving abilities.
-Please list EVERYTHING I exactly Need. Down to the bare minimum. Optional items are much appreciated as well.
- I have a full tool kit already.


*Heres a Picture of the PSU*

1) The ATX Pins running from the PSU to the Motherboard is:
-10Pin FEMALE+9Pin FEMALE------------------->24 Pin FEMALE (Correct?)
-So I would need 10+9+24 Female ATX Pins to secure this connection
-Total of 43 Pins for this connection (Hypothetically speaking if I used ALL of the pins)
What Ill need for this connection is:
-->Cable Sleeve (Atomic Green/Gold by MDPC-X), 16AWG, 43 Pins, 43 Heat-shrink Tubes,10 Pin ATX Terminal, 9 Pin ATX Terminal, and a 24 ATX Terminal

2) The CPU Pins running from the PSU to the CPU Power on the Motherboard is:
-8Pin FEMALE ---------------> 4Pin FEMALE + 4Pin FEMALE (Correct)
-So I would need 8+4+4 to secure this connection
-Total of 16 Pins for this connection
-Can I use two 8Pin Terminals for this connection?
-What Ill need for this connection is:
-->Cable Sleeve (Atomic Green/Gold by MDPC-X), 16AWG, 16 Pins, 16 Heat-Shrink Tubes, 8 Pin ATX Terminal, 4 Pin ATX Terminal (x2) OR 8 Pin ATX Terminal.

3) The GPU Pins running from the PSU to the GPU Power on the GPU is:
-?????????---------------------> 8 Pin + 8 Pin Female
- What Pin connections would I need to make this work?
- Could I just use TWO 8 pin to 8 Pin Connectors to the respected 8 Pin Terminals on the GPU?
-Completely lost on this connection
-What will I need for this connection?

4) There are multiple connections within the PC that are really odd. So ill compensate by adding in some Extra Tubing and Sleeving.
TOTAL KEY:
-50FT Atomic Green/50FT Gold (Just to be safe)
-75ft 16AWG Wire
-43 +16+(?+16) ATX Female Pins = Roughly 100 to be Safe
-120 Heat Shrink Tubules
- 8 Pin ATX Terminal (x8). 9 Pin ATX Terminal,10 Pin ATX Terminal, 24 Pin ATX Terminal, Molex, USB 8 Pin Port (For rearranging that Front Panel).

-It may seem like i know what I'm doing but I am really really sure that i down even know what I'm doing. PLEASE HELP. SOMEBODY CHECK MY CALCULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: SOMEBODY GIVE ME ADVICE ON THE GPU POWER SLEEVING!!!!!!!

Okay, first the tools:
- A molex pin remover
- Heatshrink
- The sleeving. You'll screw up a few times, so get plenty of extra.
- Wire. You can use 18 AWG UL1007 wire for everything, or you could use it with the lesser connectors, and use 16 AWG for the cables that carry the most power. Order about 10-20% more than you think you'll need.
- Some razor blades
- Some pliers
- Either a lighter or a hot air rework station. The rework station is more precise, and doesn't char the cables, but is more expensive. Here is on that works:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ITMPQS2/ref=crt_ewc_title_gw_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A67FFQ1POP4BF
- Some string or cable combs to arrange the cables in the case.
- Masking tape to label wires while you work.
- A workbench, preferably one that you can mark out the cable lengths on.
- Enough connector pins. There are three different types of importance, the ATX pins that most connectors use, Molex/AMP pins used by the 4-pin molex connection, and SATA Power pins.
- A ratcheting crimper.
- A plan. This includes measuring out the cable routes that you want to run, researching the specific method of sleeving you want to use, making sure you can use the tools, and enough time set aside to do the job.
- And finally: Patience. Sleeving takes a lot of work, and you will screw up quite a bit before you get it right. Accept that before you start, and it will be a lot more fun.

Your PSU uses capacitors in the cables. If you want, you can try and put capacitors in the custom cables as well, but that adds more work to an already intense job.

If this sounds like a lot, it's because it is. If you're willing to compromise, you can get premade sleeved cables for that PSU, but they won't be cut to length. The other option is to just use sleeved extensions, and hide the non-sleeved cables somewhere.

[strike]I'm updating this post with more specific answers to your questions. Some of them are pretty involved.[/strike]

Question 1: Get these in a set. The list of connections below has every connector you'll need. If a connector is not on that list, you probably don't need it. For this connection, assume 24 wires. They double up on the PSU side on some pins. On the motherboard side, there are 24 pins. Unfortunately, the connector does not come with pins for this component. Just get 50 of them, as then you'll have extras when you inevitably mess one up.

Question 2: That cable has a total of 8 wires, 16 pins. Get the connector and pins in a kit and save yourself the headache.

Question 3: One end of every cable is unique to that model of PSU. Get those in a kit, as it's a nightmare to try and track down every one.

Question 4: You're severely underestimating the amount of sleeving you'll need. You should get at least 150 ft in total, and the same goes for the wire. For the heat shrink, you'll use about an inch for each pin. I normally get 10-15 ft of heatshrink in total just to be safe.

Here are the connectors you'd need:

For the connectors on the PSU side, you can simply get a set for that PSU:

The connectors in that set will be used on one end of each cable, and includes the pins used in the connectors. For the other connectors, get the ones you need.
