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.
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 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?
dreambigbyray on etsy's cables have been going strong for me in my ncase for about 3 years now. it makes cable management so much easier when theyre appropriately sized imo. l
Wow, I've heard of other cable issues, but not custom cable fires. Sounds like something like measuring for ModDIY-created cables might be the best route. I've made cables before but never tried PSU sleeving.
Typically no. If you have a reputable company(dreambig by Ray and pslate custom are often recommended) you're "probably" ok safety wise.
But they usually cost a fair bit for good quality.
I've never made my own(i dont trust myself) and just rely on my cabling skill to hide things away... On some occasions my efforts have been less successful than others but I got better and the only cost was my free time.
