I got the standard ready package from Cablemod recently. When arrived i see it MIC and make me realize if get from TB will be cheaper since all MIC.

Just wonder those TB ones is it safe ?

Since when Cablemod is from US or anything lol.

The first give away is when nearing chinese new year. They say that they have shortage issues lah, delivery issues lah etc etc. Every year same issue.

When they ship out, it is from HK address. Cablemod is never a US coy. Just heavily marketed by the ang mohs that it is a "US branding"

Do make sure you inform them what PSU brand and model u are using if u order from them. Different PSU brands have different pin out config.

What does it mean? Is kezi the connector head?

Seasonic = 海韵
But you type Seasonic Core, they will understand.
Ya, he asking if it include the connector length.

BTW, don't order silver plated wire. Very stiff and difficult to bend. Go for silicone or braided.

ok, i think i'll use silicone for all then because I want very bendy and short cables.

For the thickest cable (motherboard cable), do you all usually go for sleeved, or flat?

If you put a sleeve on the 24pin ATX cable, looks ugly lei. A round bunch of cable. Just leave it flat.

Or you can get those cable fishbone or cable comb to tidy it up.

No lah... i get it for Ghost case to free up space and tidiness.

try TB 200-300 rmb...to replace the hard corsair cables, need to provide psu, mb models, casing types. Would avoid those generic cables... and also those cheap ones... u just don't know when the plastic melts....

Which is why I used premium materials, like 16AWG 2.4mm wires, Molex terminals and MDPC-X sleeves. Don't think anyone going the DIY custom route will cheap out on the quality.

Why not? If you provide proper pinouts, should be safe. If want to be extra safe, buy extensions.

Connections were traced pin by pin and besides, the quality of my custom cables are way higher than what was supplied.

These cable modders had been in business for many years. They know every pin out at the back of their hand.
I have bought 3 sets of custom cables and none had issue.
All you need is make sure you give them the PSU brand and model. They usually have a similar model but different wattage PSU on hand which they use for testing before sending the cables to you. They also don't want to take the risk of damaging customers hardware and ruin their own store reputation.:)
