I notice how all the cables crisscross each other quite severely once I took the existing sleeving off the cables of my NEX650G so am unsure on a few points:
1. Does the order of the ground pins matter?
I looked up a diagram for the 8 pin PCI-E connector and the 12v wires matched the diagram (though they almost braided each other doing so) but the rest of them are apparently grounds. Safe to assume they can be arranged in whatever order?
2. Then the 24-pin connector confuses me quite a bit:
a. Wires are different gauges, or at least different thickness of shielding, is this standard or common? Will it be an issue in re-wiring?
Edit: Nevermind, seems I just sucked at tracing the wires the first time around, though it's still very confusing as to what is going on with these connectors...
