I have a non-modular PSU and the cables are too long. Does anyone have any tips for shortening the cables and making sure every single one goes back in the right place?

I've got myself a set of keys for the job too, any tips on using them?

Thanks
 
That is excellent advice, thank you.

The existing block isn't very good, it would be easier to transfer one wire at a time from one block to another anyway. I'm going to look for one now.

I have cable ties, heat shrink and some of the webby stuff (large) but not sure what size to get for all the motherboard pins for case LEDs and buttons?

Also, I think I have all the other tools I need to?

Thanks Esat, can you please allow me to send you a PM? I have a product link I would like you to check that isn't from here. It won't let me send you a PM at the moment.

If you can't see the inside of your PC, you could always cut the cables in the middle, shorten them and use in-line crimps to rejoin them together.
It's not ideal as the crimps add volume and you would need to stagger the positions of the crimps otherwise they would form a massive bunch in the middle of the cable.

If you don't have the crimping tools, but you can solder, you could always shorten and resolder the cables within the PSU.

Thanks Paul.
 
I have the tools to recrimp and a new 24 pin connector so it's best to deal with each cable one at a time and place them into the new connector block to avoid putting the wrong cable in the wrong place.

I agree with you about the other easier cables though.
