Sleaving of a pump

DataVampire · 15 Sep 2014 at 01:22

Hey guys not sure where to put this post.

I am going to buy a new pump/res combo and was wandering if there is a place that can sleave it, the last time I sleaved my previous pump, it was nto that good.

Is there any companies that can do this, does overclockers offer this service, when you buy the tech labs kit ?

I don't think there are any companies that will do this, you could ask a more skilled friend to do for you.

There's a forum user who has sleeved things for people in the past.

David, that's one of his threads, send him a message, he might be able to help,
that or Pexon, he's around here and runs a service.

I'd just do it yourself mate, it is one of the easiest things to sleave, and will only cost about 2 quid. There are plenty of online videos to follow, when it comes to the connector and pin just make a detailed drawing of where they come and go out of, or better still take a picture.

Depending on your pump you will either have a molex or 3 pin fan connector, and sometimes both, the 3 pin being for the tacho signal, just pop the pins out sleave, and pop back in.

It really is super simple to do. Just pop the pins out of the connector and away you go. You can do it with a toothpick, you don't need any special tools as long as its one of the usual 3/4 pin connectors.

any idea what size sleaving and shrinktube to use for sleaving pumps and fan cables ?

I think I used 3/4mm sleeving and 2mm (when shrunk) for the shrinkwrap. What colour are you after? If its red I might have some spare lying around that I could just pop in a letter and send you for free.

Actualy black or red. Since my build is both black and red.
