In need of cable sleeving

**dj_stick** · Mar 11, 2004, 04:52 AM

I think i need some cable sleeving, desperately - sorry the pic isn't quite clear ({edit} thx to MKK it looks much bettr now)

GutterPunk · Mar 11, 2004, 06:05 AM

looks like my computer, one quick questions how well does your cpu fan work, I havent heard any feedback on those, ive only seem em...

Some sleeving on that will definitely drop temps...u prolly get poor or below average air flow through that thing

nice system tho

mkk · Mar 11, 2004, 06:43 AM

When cables get entangled in others it can be a good idea to take some time to re-rout all of them. Tying down some of them with tape can help, to make some of them stay more to the sides of the case rather than making a mess in the middle.

Btw, I couldn't resist making a better pic for ya. If you like you can find it in this directory, as I can't hotlink from the host.

disastrophy: the HSF and new tower (more space) brought my temps down about 30 degrees celsius from stock cooling (i was up around 80, now down to about 50, with the fan on low)
i'm also intending to add 3 or 4 case fans (you can see the mount for one right infront ofthe HSF)
mkk - firstly, thx for the pic, i'll use it, and im gonna get some cable ties for a temporary fix until i can afford t ogo mod crazy

All you need is some properly placed zip ties and you'll be all set.

G@MeBoY · Mar 12, 2004, 01:21 AM

You dont need sleeving yet

Wantted to post a picture but cant access my site at the moment

(i have hanging around : 8 MOLEX + 2sata + 3fans + 2floppy molex + neon + TT11+ cables + ....) 10x God that tagan TG-380 has main mb power cables sleeved...
If you want sleeveng be prepared for some hard work becasu je need to deatach all cables from PSU , sleeve them, then put them back...I heard that this can take up to 12 hours...

GutterPunk · Mar 12, 2004, 01:47 AM

drakesteakn · Mar 12, 2004, 02:18 AM

thanx zardon. they are usually better than that, but i was moving around some fans and cables to get more air flow. so most of the time u really can't see the cables at all.

GutterPunk · Mar 12, 2004, 06:45 PM

like i said.. Drake has a nicely zipped up computer

**dj_stick** · Mar 12, 2004, 10:47 PM

that looks very similiar to my m/b, is that the GA-7N400 Pro?

yep it is, i like it alot. very nice baord

**dj_stick** · Mar 13, 2004, 12:01 AM

i have the 7nnxp, model up from yours
but both are very good boards

drakesteakn · Mar 13, 2004, 12:05 AM

have u gotten ur wires back off of the mobo yet? are u going to use zip ties or cable sleaving?

**dj_stick** · Mar 13, 2004, 12:07 AM

l'm gonna use the cable ties i have until i can afford some sleeving, but with space and length issues there are still gonna be wires crossing over the m/b

drakesteakn · Mar 13, 2004, 12:15 AM

yep, its always that way, but it will be way better than before.

**dj_stick** · Mar 13, 2004, 12:17 AM

i did a little re-routing of wires last night, and i managed to push a considerable amount into the empty drive bay spaces

drakesteakn · Mar 13, 2004, 12:21 AM

good thats what i do, it gets those huge wires out of the way, i try to put them in any free space i can that won't hurt my air flow.

**dj_stick** · Mar 13, 2004, 12:23 AM

i'm gonna add 2 or 3 case fans aswell, when i can afford them and have the time to cut holes in the panel

drakesteakn · Mar 13, 2004, 12:26 AM

i have to get a couple of better fans, mine just don't do anything in my AMD system. and with no real air flow my computer get real hot. so i have the side of the case open.

G@MeBoY · Mar 13, 2004, 01:13 AM

ok, have a look at this, this is best I can manage with 8 molex connector, 2 sata, 2 floppy...etc.

http://gameboy.hothost.tv/sredjeno.jpg

Low quality is because its taken with nokia 7650 camera.

tip for all of you: see how tagan cables are "twisted"(in the above pic) ? You can do this with your cables from PSU too. Just twist them alot and hold them like that for a while or make them stay that way somehow. you'll have less wires hanging around.

PS. Why cant I post picture with IMG code ?!? Why does it says I cant post attachemnts ? 10x

I clicked on your link and I am not seeing the jpg. Maybe your site doesn't allow hosting pics?

G@MeBoY · Mar 13, 2004, 01:45 AM

no, my site allows it, but its free 50MB of space so it's F***** up ! (I am pissed off now because of them). Will fix the link. Sorry folks.

Edit: Link works now. Server was down yesterday.Sorry.
