Title: guage interesting in custom power cable to power motherboard 12v and pico psu
Post by: CryptoWatcher420 on December 09, 2017, 12:44:42 PM
hi guys cryptowatcher420 here!
so title kinda says it all I'm gauging interest for those that are looking for a custom cable to power both the motherboard 12v AND
the 24pin Pico psu also for the motherboard all from 1 cable

some information about the cable
its a 6 pin to EPS 4+4pin for the motherboard with one of the 4 pin has a pigtail and 2.5mm barrel plug to power a pico psu
wire length between the 6pin and the 4+4 pin is about 10 inches long
only high quality materials are used such as silicon jacketed fine strand copper wire instead of pvc jacketed copper wire for increased flexibility


if anyone would like to inquire about said cable please contact me through my discord channel, invite link is on my profile.
sorry for it being such a dark picture! ill try and get a better one up

There is a guy on the forum that already does this cable. His thread is in the “Computer Hardware” section of the Marketplace.

there prolly a few that make them, but they all use cheaper materials. I know when I started making them a number of months ago for my rigs, there was only me and another person here on the forum that makes them, by the way why would anyone want to buy multiple cables or adapters and make there build more expensive than it needs to be? if it cant be done with one 1 cable then its not worth it, the only good thing ya pointed out was finsky's kit, his cables use pvc jacketed wire but for the price of that kit and the fact it takes him forever to get stuff sent out, I can make my own set of cables and buy a pico psu that is 160w for 13 dollars and have the items much faster

tbh if your going to come at someone sideways like that you should atleast have picked out the right cables, the 6 pin to eps 12v has a FEMALE plug not a male plug, that said that wont work with a breakout board not to mention its 10 bucks, and the cable to power the pico is a WASTE, not to mention its also 10 bucks, my cable does BOTH for under 7 dollars. as ive said if you cant do it with just 1 cable and nothing extra then its just not worth it, the things you've brought up would cost 20+ dollars compared to just under 7 dollars for the same thing and much better made with higher quality materials
