Power Supply Making SF600 Plat Cables Shorter

[haroldngkh]

Hi guys,

I haven't made custom length cables before, but I'd like to give it a go.

I'm planning on getting an SF600 Plat for my new SFF build, and I'd like to shorten the cables for better cable management and airflow. Is this possible? If so, what resources and/or tools would you guys recommend?

Thanks

modular or non?

modular or non?

All Corsair SF series are modular, Gold and Platinum.

It might take the enjoyment out, but there are services available that sells custom cables for Corsair PSUs. Unless this is your second PC, don't do it, especially if you're new to this. Wrong wires can lead to catastrophic failure(s) as you're playing with literal fire hazard.

Just remember that PSU pin routes differs from one vendor to another, so if you're looking for a guide, make sure it's exactly for that particular model.

Still, my recommendation is just to find a custom sleever.

I´ve used this cables terminals and everything, good stuff. It´s not difficult, but go slow and be carefull to wire everything where it belongs

i would recommend this instead. cables are not just shorter, theres a lot less of them.

The M2427 has been replaced by the newer model: M2426. The J-Hack M2427 is a special hybrid DC-ATX designed to work with Corsair SF series power supply. It reduces up to 30 wires down to just 7 that connects to the PSU. If you’re tired of cumbersome wires and cable management, this is for [...]

If you're not totally discouraged and still want to diy, most of the psus I've worked on in the past few years use pcie connectors at the psu side. I'll shorten the wires one at a time and try to reconnect each as I go. Always helps to have extra connectors on hand. You'll need a decent molex 2 pin tool and a decent crimper for the correct gauge of wire. It's meticulous work and I always seem to snag a fingertip in the process (pulling the pins out). For me, customizing to the case with little or no slack is the top priority. I'll try top grab a pic of the equipment I use in a couple hours when I can get to my computer room.

Also my Evo, but that's not nearly done yet. GPU side is a spaghetti mess. Experimenting with silicone wire for the second GPU power cable. Not sure how I feel about the ultra flexible stuff yet. I use it to build flashlights, but it's a lot softer. Also got a sata power adapter to the AIO that needs a bit of shortening attention.

Shamefully posting that WIP anyway

Totally a rabbit hole... Wanted to give some perspective so you could decide whether or not to persue. It's the build it or buy it decision. Whether or not it's worth the time, effort, or frustration is personal. I don't contract out much. Even at the stage of life that I can afford to do so. Just never get the exact result unless I do it myself.
