Power supply woes

[Rinaun]

When sleeving my PSU, i have to take off the molex on my 4 pin molexs'. Does it matter which order the blacks are in? theres the two blacks in the middle and i need to know if I need to remember which black goes in which hole. I would guess it wouldnt matter since theyre both ground. Any tips would be appreciated.

In the old olden days maybe. All ATX grounds are common. So no, it does not matter.

Thanks for the reply, just ordered the sleeving and a heat shrink dubing set.

Hi, Galvan is correct. I think I would look for spiral sleeving. It can be applied without removing the connectors. I don't know if it is still available. Haven't seen any in many years. Still have some in the junk box. Jim

Spiral and split sleeving is easily had in black. If I were young and wanted bling spiral
sleeving, I'd head to Pep-Boys for the loud colors offered there.

OP, if you go for chromed spiral make sure it's plating is non-conductive with your ohm meter.
