Default Brief me on a couple things...

Like the title says, I need a little knowledge

I am going to sleeve my 850w Zeus. I have sleeved many things before - I am familiar with the Chinese-handcuff style material and with using a heat gun for the shrink. However, I have never sleeved a PSU. So, I need something to remove the wires from the 6pin PCI cables, the 24 pin main cable, and such.

Would this be my remedy?

If so, nothing problematic about that, but I want to know a couple things:

My questions:

A. First of all, will painting some of the wires white/gray void my warranty?

B. What do the wire colors represent?
From what I have seen, I can guess that

Yellow = +12v rail
Red = +5v rail
Black = ground

Is this correct? I want to SPRAYPAINT the yellow and red wires white and gray respectively. (before sleeving them) And yes, I will keep track of which ones go where.

Thanks in advance

This is what you want/need. http://www.jab-tech.com/20-pin-24pin....-pr-2290.html
Kinda tricky to use, so practice on an old connection first.

I hope you plan on using vinyl spray paint and de-oil the wires with a stong solvent. If I sold you the PSU, the warrenty would be voided by painting the wiring.

Welcome to the forum.

Yeah I intend to test it on my old 200w psu.

Right, so the paint does not chip off onto my stuff.

Welcome to the forum.
Thanks, I read a bunch of Johnny's reviews and other reviews and made my decision on the 850w Zeus. Its just that it is cabled and shrinked so crappily!!..

EDIT one last thing:
Judging by this guide: http://www.gam.net.au/pcmods/satapower/2.html
My S/ATA cables are the "Moulded" type, not the "self crimping." So I would have to cut off the black plastic connections?
