ok hi

i am new here well i have had a account but not posted



i am building a new system i paid for all the parts today,i am just waiting for them to arrive now i am very exited lol. My issue is i want to sleeve my cables in red but have never done it before or seen it been done in person,what i was needing to know is the actual size of sleeving i should buy(i mean the thickness) i have a corsair gs800 power supply that already has black sleeving on it.

i want to order the sleeving as soon as possible so i can get that done before the system is built as i dont want to have to take it all apart to sleeve the wires i would rather have it done before building

- SHOULD I SLEEVE OVER EXISTING SLEEVING?
- WHAT SIZES DO I NEED?
- SHOULD I BUY 3 DIFFERENT SIZES?
- WHAT TO USE ON THE END OF THE SLEEVING(SAME AS CORSAIR)?
- IS IT HEATSHRINK ON THE END OF THE SLEEVING?

i know i will be able to do the sleeving no problem but i am not good with measurments so i need some help with the sizing, i will be sleeving all the wires that can be seen and also the ones that wont be seen but could be in the future. i am going to do a tidy job similar to the way corsair has done the sleeving on my psu what i was also wondering. what is the stuff they use on the end of the sleeving to hold it tight and make it look clean? i definately want to use that as it looks really stock and proffesional it looks like heatshrink to me but i am not sure i dont want to use cable ties or something i definately want it the same as my corsair sleeving but showing a bit less cable at the ends.

I wanted this

if someone wants to give me there opionon on the amd hd6990 and give me a alternative choice on roughly the same price range of around £200 max but i would push slightly higher if someone reccomended something much better than the 6990 i thought of saving a couple of months and getting a titan but i am not sure? is there anything cheaper that is very close to the titan?


well thanks guys

please help me here is the short verion to save people reading as my punctuation is very bad.

i need to know what thickness of sleeving i need as i have never done it before and have trouble with measurements.

should i buy more than one size and if so what ones? my corsair gs800 psu already has black sleeving should i cover it rather than remove?

what do they use on the end of the sleeving?i have seen cable ties but done want that i want the heat shrink looking stuff like on the corair sleeving


thanks for any help please if someone could reply as soon as possible so i can buy the sleeving as i already have my other components on there way they will be sent on monday so if i get this ordered by then everything should hopefully come roughly the same time
