I am about to start doing my custom sleeving i am just a little confused on what go where,
do i put female Crimp Pins in a male connector or the other way around?

if someone could help me it would be great as i am still learning lmao

Sorry i know it sound stupid.

mcnumpty23 · Apr 18, 2016

never tried sleeving my own

but should be pretty obvious by thinking whats it going to plug into

if it plugs into a hole then male if it plugs to a pin female--sounds right to me

KieranPCGamer · Apr 18, 2016

its for extension cables so i just wanted to know what pins i put in the connect what go's in to the mobo and the other connect obvious connects to the 24pin and 8pin and so on lol.

I'm sorry but I need to jump in here.

I've seen a lot of your threads regarding this and while I have not answered some folks I know have given you a lot of advice.

However I have one final piece of advice to give. Power supply cabling is serious business. You can at a minimum damage or destroy your PC components with incorrect cabling. At worst you can do that and burn your house down while you are at it. You are asking basic electronics questions that someone whom is taking on a project like this should be able to answer on their own.

The question you are asking now literally scares me as to what you may do, even given the correct answer. I implore you to reconsider this project and maybe try out some other cheaper electronics projects to learn what you are doing before taking this on.

I say this with the utmost respect for wanting to try something like this on your own, but as I said, I am in fear of the next thread being titled "so I blew up my PSU and set a small fire in my home".

Well thank you for all your information i am trying to learn a new skill that's why i come to ask for some help,
as i have always lived by you learn from your mistakes right?

KieranPCGamer :

I agree, but if your mistakes can end in at a minimum destroy $1000+ worth of components, and at worst start a house fire, maybe its time to try a little safer route, until you are very confident in your electronics ability.

Just my 2 cents.

I take in everything everyone says to be and i am grateful for everything i have learnt here, i am only practicing at the moment
thats why i asked what i asked its not like i was going to make my first cables and connect them to my PC lol, plus its not full psu cables
its only for extension cables.

KieranPCGamer :

same as i said still applies for extensions should be apparent just by looking at them

KieranPCGamer · Apr 18, 2016

All sorted now done alot of reading and found what i need female go's in to the mobo and male to the 24pin xD thanks

Rule one, a live cable should always end in a female socket.
