Sleeving Your Own PC Cables:

To See what the cables look like in a PC Build, CLICK HERE!

You Will Need:

Cables: You need cables from a Semi or Fully Modular Power Supply (I used Corsair RM550)

Sleeving: I used Teleios however you can use other materials such as paracord. I used 60cm of Sleeving per wire, however you will have to measure the length of your wires as they do differ.

Heat Shrink: i used roughly 5 cm of heat shrink per wire. 3-1 is the best to use.

ATX Pin Remover: This tool will allow you to remove the wires from the connectors easily, Keep reading on where you can purchase this from.

Lighter: You will need a lighter to melt the heat shrink onto the cable and also to prevent the sleeving from fraying.

Scissors: Used to cut the sleeving. Helpful Tools: - Needle Nose Pliers - Patience… Lots of it.

Most of the Items mentioned above can be purchased from http://www.kustompcs.co.uk . This is the best and cheapest place to purchase sleeving tools in the UK with the lowest delivery costs possible. If you are wanting to do this and live in the US or other countries, i suggest looking at https://mainframecustom.com . How To Sleeve:

Remove a wire from the connector using the ATX Tool.

Cut Appropriate length of sleeving.

Slide Sleeving over cable up to the 2nd pins on the connector

Slide about 2-3cm of Heat shrink over the sleeving

Slide the heat shrink about 1mm over the end of the sleeving.

Using the blue part of the flame on the lighter spend 15-20 seconds melting the heat shrink until it starts to bubble.

Press down on the Heat shrink then remove it.

Do this to both sides of the cable and place back in the connector: Heres what it looks like after i did 3 wires:

Making Your Own GPU Backplate:

Here is a really simple way to hide the ugly GPU PCB and make your own GPU backplate for about £5/$6.

You Will Need: 

3mm Acrylic Sheet in the colour of your choice

1 or more Vinyl sticker for a laptop, phone or car.

Stantly knife

Ruler

This is very simple, simply measure the size of your GPU PCB and write down the dimensions. 

Mark onto your Acrylic sheet the dimensions of the PCB and using the ruler and Stanley knife cut a 1-2mm deep groove into the Acrylic. 

Running the cut along the edge of the desk, snap the acrylic in order to get a clean break along your line.

Wash and clean the acrylic piece to remove any dust and dirt from it. Dry it thoroughly as the vinyl sticker will not stick to wet acrylic.

Carefully Apply the vinyl sticker(s) to the acrylic plate. You can also drill screw holes onto the acrylic however, to keep a clean look i just rest mine onto of the GPU. Here are some more shots of my one, i used a glossy white acrylic with the Triforce Vinyl Sticker to match my Black/White/Red build…

NZXT FN V2 Fan Review:

The NZXT FN V2 Fans come included with most NZXT cases, but are they any good? I purchased an NZXT H440 White/Black which comes equipped with 3x 120mm FN V2′s in the Front and 1x 120mm FN V2 in the Back. I must note the FN V2 fans included with the White/Black H440 come with white fane blades, whereas all the other colour schemes come with the default black fan blades.

In my current PC build, i have 3x FN V2 in a Pull configuration, and 3x FN V2 in the top in a push configuration. The Top fans are more visible from the inside of the case so i moved the 3x FN V2′s with white blades from the front to the top of the case and put 3x FN V2′s purchased form Amazon in the front. I Left the last FN V2 in it’s stock position giving me a total of 7x of them in my case.

Despite having 7x fans in the H440, along with the sound padding the case stays exceptionally quiet. Be warned that it does not achieve a completely silent build however these fans run very quiet. They also provide very good cooling, leaving my system running at 25 degrees at normal load which is actually sub room temperatures! The FN V2′s also are fairly cheap, being only £12 each for the 120mm and £15 for the 140mm versions.
