Power Supply Pico PSU Power Cable Replacement

[ricochet]

I can't seem to figure this one out; I am dizzy from googling and looking at thousands of images. Can the ATX 24, 4-Pin CPU, SATA, 4-Pin Molex, etc. on Pico PSUs be changed/replaced? Are sleeved or solid color power cables available like larger ATX PSUs?

The 150-XT and 160-XT have a modular sata + pata cable. The 4 pin cpu and input are always soldered. Afaik there's no solid color cables and sleeving has to be done yourself.

EDIT: looks like the 4 pin cpu is modular as well.

robbee: Thank you. Concur, unfortunately what I deducted as well... just wanted to make sure I wasn't being a complete idiot and missing something obvious.

Would Flexo Pet sleeving work with Pico PSU? I can't believe there isn't a sleeved cable kit for pico PSUs yet!

Yea, Flexo would be fine but in most cases you can see through it to the color of the wire.
If that's not your preferred look, I would recommend Teleios sleeving, it's nice and dense, and I find it easier to work with than the MDPC sleeving.

Yeah, I may end up having to buy all the tools to sleeve properly. Thank you for the recommendation.

Just wish the following was a genuine quality product because it is perfect for my build in so many ways than one!

If you have a local machinist, perhaps you could have a better, more efficient heatsink designed for it?
The issue with that was the unsafe amount of heat that it generated right?

What if only used up to 70 watts max?

HDPlex is releasing a similar unit that should be much higher quality shortly.

Yes I saw that and I anxiously await but it looks like it could be weeks or months away... :-(
