Title: Making your own PCI-e cables? Post by: wavelengthsf on October 23, 2017, 01:49:54 PM I've done plenty of ethernet and phone cables in my life, but I was wondering if anyone knew the right tool to crimp PCI-e cables?
Any tips for the wire gauge to use as well? Would this work ok? https://www.amazon.com/Titan-Tools-11477-Ratcheting-Terminal/dp/B01N43O0UJ/ Title: Re: Making your own PCI-e cables? Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on October 23, 2017, 01:54:24 PM Use 16ga Cu wire and molex pin crimpers. If you have a real crimper with removable jaws (vs the flat stamped metal ones) just get a set of jaws for Molex pins. Amp and others do sell the cheaper flat stamped type but ya get what ya pay for...
