I've bought some 550 paracord to sleeve most of the cables on my system. Hopefully once done it'll look like so...


Presently I have a corsair TX650V2 non modular psu. Question is, do I make up sleeved extensions or butcher the existing wires? Also, does anyone know what size heatshrink I will need?

I value the warranty enough that extensions definitely make sense. I'd only need to sleeve a few connectors which doesn't make it so bad. I intend to replace the corasir with a seasonic platinum modular psu at some point which will make life a lot easier. (plus I've got some old antec modular cables that i can rewire to suit the seasonic)

A quick search suggests 550lb paracord is 4mm in diameter. 6mm heatshrink will be ok. 4:1 or 3:1 though? (4:1 shrinks to 1.5mm, 3:1 shrinks to 2mm so it's only 0.5mm)
