Very difficult decision to make?

Hey guys,

Well, all my parts will be here this week so I'll soon be able to get my first ever water cooled & mod build under way, but, I have decided to give myself further punishment by hand braiding most of my cables (the odd one will have an extension, like the case front panel wires).

So to my dilemma, I'm using the Mayhems Blueberry Pastel Coolant, and my mobo is the Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H, so blue heatsink, other parts are black and silver (cpu block and ram sinks), but I can't for the life of me decide on the cable braiding colour?

Maybe the B-Magic with Grey MKII, or go outlandish and get the Yellow (would that look good?)

Over to you boys and girls, what would you suggest? I'll be ordering from Nils in Germany, so can only use his colours ;)

TTFN :D
 
Heh, be prepared for several nights sitting up braiding for hours upon hours, and aching fingers. But it does look good.

Id say go with the grey, or maybe black as you suggested (depends on what you will have most of in the case apart from blue), but maybe do the left and right of each cable with a blue that mnatches your coolant, IE, on a molex it would go

Just to break it up a little :) If you need any advice, just ask as its something i've recently done.

I think you might be right, I was thinking of all blue but that'd be overload on the blue :eek:

Just to decide on either Grey or Black with Blue accents :cool:

Thanks mate :)
 
Thanks also BluSky :)

@ cs2000,

Do you have any guides, links, vids etc for doing SATA POWER cables, especially ones that have multiple connections on one cable?
 
I have ordered from nils and hopefully his package will be here tomorrow.

I decided on using mainly vanilla and I got some copper and black also.

I will see how it looks together and decide what ratio to use them in
 
I'd love to see your braiding mate and your impressions on the quality etc...

Did you order any tools?

I think I'm going for Titanium Grey (or black, not sure yet) for the main and B-Magic for the accents :)
 
Pics will be posted in my water chiller thread once im finished mate.

I already had tools that I bought a year ago when I first wanted to do it but never got round to it.

its the phobya molex extractor kit. Im prepared for it to take as long as it takes because I want I want it to be perfect.

I really liked titanium grey aswell but there were so many great colours I found it very difficult to decide
 
Yeah, I'm going to take as long as I need to, like you I want it perfect too :)

Did you order enough to do your whole psu or just enough for only the cables you are currently using?

And re the colours, ha ha I keep looking at colours I think would look amazing on a PSU but aren't in my builds colour scheme :p
 
I ordered 20 mtrs of vanilla, 10 mtrs of copper and black plus pre cut shrink and vanilla

sata braid. I wanted to make sure the colours will go with future builds because In a years time my pc will have changed a lot no doubt :-)

Having to use my phone to post as pc is out of action till tomorrow
Reinstalling a fish tank in a wall and the pc is to close to it which means for me replumbing the chiller pipes. Will post pics tomorrow but I am very very impressed. He even drew a pic on the envelope and wrote Cammy on it.
