Braiding for fan cables?

Swordfish125 · 29 Nov 2008 at 12:53

I want to put some smart black braiding on my Fan cables (3pin) wondering what diameter fits best.

Also looking to put some on my USB cables that come with the Eclipse 62.

Cheers

I've just bought 4mm braid for my fan cables i will be using on these sweet fans for my rebuild, hope it's the right size... i think it is anyway.

Measure the cables. Then choose the correct size. Remember that it expands to much bigger dimensions. Dont forget heatshrink.

Heatshrink?

So the Covers will stretch to slip of the fan headers?

You put heatshrink on the end of the braid and shrink it with a match/lighter or similar so it keeps the braiding in place.
