![]() The double 8-pin next to the 24-pin connector (don't mind my old 980 TI).Īnd the backside, still messy but that will be fixed when I swap out for a new motherboard: The smaller wire for the sense signals which allows for having a double wire in the 24-pin connector. The original cables also have a mix of 16 AWG and 22 AWG wire. Reading forums the sense wires are essential (in layman terms: feedback signal to see if the voltages need to be adjusted when the loads are high), but the capacitors are not (just removes some ripples). These PSU (RM1000i) have sense wires, so there where also some double wires on the 24-pin header and some capacitors. This was a lot harder, first making a pin layout and see which wires go where. Then started on the 24-pin to 18- and 10-pin cable on the PSU side. ![]() I think the end result is very nice for a first time: I stil needed to learn how to do heat shrinkless sleeving, crimping and managing double wires in cables. The final result I also heat shrinked all connectors.įor the custom PSU cables I started with the 8-pin PCI-e cables since these are the simpler ones. I noticed that I didn't have pictures of the cable harness fully finished, so this has to do. The cable now has three male-FAN connectors, three four pin male Corsair-RGB connectors, one female 3-pin RGB connector that plugs into the Lighting Node PRO (or CoPro), and a female 4-pin FAN connector that the CoPro will connect. With this I didn't lose any control and each LED is still individually addressed. ![]() So now the result of this is single cable harness that is powered directly from the PSU, and drives the three ML140 FANs and their RGB LEDs. If someone is interested in how I did the wire connections, let me know and I will make a diagram. Also bundling the FANs (max four) to a single female 4-pin fan header, the CoPro can drive all my fans, and no load on the CoPro since I have the +12V connected directly to the PSU. This gives me four LED headers for control (Two from CoPro, and tweo from the LNPro). Route the FAN sense and PWM signal from the Commander pro.įor my setup I'm now left with only one Lighting Node PRO and a Commander Pro. Route the data wire out from a Lighting Node PRO which are still required. Route +12V, +5V, and GND directly from the PSU (through the PSU's Peripheral & SATA outputs). Since I use EKWB radiators I have almost no space between the radiator's side and the side panels of the case. This would not only solve the issue with a lot of extra devices, but also with the number of wires I needed to route through my case.
