I just sleeved my PSU... and now Im wondering.

Does it matter exactly which black wire goes on what part of a 4 pin molex connector? I know they are ground wires (right?). So to me it seems like I wouldnt need to trace the black wire all the way down and make sure they are all in perfect order.

Any danger to this? Let me know.
 
logic says no... but... in my case there are some wires on my psu that are thicker than others... witch means they carry more current... so... if there all the same size... i dont think you really have to worrie about it... if there not.. you'ed better look up a sleeveing guide and see where they put the thicker wires.

thore
 
Also, it seems sleeving reduces the flexibility of the wires right at the baste of the connectors due to the heatshrink, zip ties, or electrical tape holding the braided sleaves on.

It looks nice though.

I just dished out 70$ for this Antec PSU, dont want to fucker it.
 
I'm 99% sure that it doesn't matter which way the ground wires are but don't blame me if it smokes your psu.
Theres only one way to find out, just test it with a fan or something non important.
 
Whereas I can with 100% certanty say it does not mattter. All of the ground lines attach back to the same point inside the PSU. And for sleeving wires, any different gauge wires are not going to be grounds but single weirdos like -5v and PS_ON. No worries
 
So the black wires on a 4 pin molex are both ground wires, right?
