Is it worth the effort to make custom cables, or should I just work on better cable management?
I don’t make my own. I ordered from modDIY.com. Came in quick and exactly to spec.
I’d recommend finding the exact length you need by searching online, then ordering to spec. It’ll make your life a lot easier.
How concerned do I need to be about pinout if I go through a supplier like modDIY? My understanding is that it’s not recommended to mix and match PSU cables from multiple manufacturers.
I have no idea what you mean about pinout. I’m personally not concerned.
Not sure what you mean by “worth” here, it’s a bit of tedious work, the other day I stumbled on an YT comment response saying author spent around 8 hours making a motherboard 24pin cable, I’d say it’s worth it if you absolutely need it, dude’s cables were perfect length and shape tho
I just got done making sleeved cables for a fightstick, so I’m not afraid of the tedium. Just concerned about burning my build up.
I think the only way you can burn your stuff is by wiring your cables wrong, so testing twice it thrice would be enough, it’s not 12VHPWR cable, right?
