I keep seeing 18 awg and 20 awg recommended. I'm thinking 18 awg, as it can't hurt... I'm making new cables for my fan controllers, by the way.

High case for AWG

24AWG for the fans and 18AWG to the controller.

18AWG for everything else but the FDD, if you use one.
With the monster EnerMax the wire runs are long, so nothing short of 18AWG.

Good read! I feel like I'm in school again (in a good way!)

18ga is the biggest ever needed in a PC case. For lengths of 18" or less, 20 ga. wuld be just fine. Current carrying capacity increases inversely with length of wire.

Cool, thanks. Since this wire will possibly be up to 4ft, I went ahead and got 100 ft. of 18 awg wire. Thanks.
