Hi guys,

Someone who knows about electricity, please can someone offer some guidance for me? I want to make two PCIe cables. To go from modular PSU to Radeon 6870. Should be simple. 6 pin to 6 pin.

I think they don't run parallel. There should be 3 yellow and 3 black (ground). I need to repeat this for the second 6 pin slot. I.e. a diagram displaying from pin to pin (or something similar).

It's part of an ongoing test. My 6870 won't come to life! Nothing. After 100 reboots it worked.

Kind regards,

Adrian

What make is the modular PSU the cables are for?

i've made a custom cable for my modular PSU that links up my opticals and fan controller and another custom made cable for all my HDDs. i didn't want to ruin the existing cables by splicing and soldering wires and sockets (plus can also sell it on later with all original cables intact).

the first thing you should do is determine which pins on your PSU and your Radeon are which. you've quite rightly pointed out yellow (12V) and black (ground). if you're making it from scratch then you need to buy male and female housings (the black plastic bit), the actual pins themselves,the wires and some sort of crimping tool. the way i would do it, is carefully look at which pin is where, and the colour and make a rough diagram of the position of the pin on the housing. as you said, it's not that hard, just take care when putting the pins in the housing bit.

one thing to bear in mind is the shape of the individual pin housing, some are square some are half-square with a rounded side.

Thanks

I have everything. PSU is Silverstone Strider so has 6 pin PCIe on the top rail. The plugs are the same each side, no?

No need to crimp or any of that. I can't draw the diagran. Does square to square then and so on, regardless of pin layout?

It seems very straight forward, but you've got to account for manufacturers wanting to make things work exclusive (I think that's the right word :p). I certainly wouldn't be surprised to find out that one manufacturer switches two of the wires on a PSU cable to make sure that no other brand's wires are compatible (kinda like what I've seen with Antec/Powercool).

If you've got a multi-meter, make sure the wires are "normal" like this:


Or whether they're switched or whatever, like this:


Hope my amazing paintbrush skills convey my meaning properly :p

At least once you know which way the wires are, you can crack on making it.

Great paintbrush skills. I have no multi-meter, unfortunately. Never used a multi-meter! lmao.

Basically, you're confirming they may crossover in a random configuration. You'd expect it was generic.

What I could do with is someone modded such a custom PC before, for a 2x6 pin GPU!

These are the 12 cables. God knows what order - Silverstone Strider to Radeon 6870?! lmao.

Reaching your left retina.

Buy one. They are cheap and very useful. An enthusiast should always have one at hand, if anything, to at least know which cables are ok and things like that. Or in your case to know which cables go where.

lucky! my pc is out of it's case right now.
do you have the 6 pin plugs?
hope this helps:

^gpu end

^psu end (incidentally for the 6 pin you just dont have the 2 grounds on one end)

multimeters are cheap and so are the cables :D

Yeah 6 pin. But say, is the top-right black cable on the 8 pin, also the loose top-right-black on the 6+2? Scaminatrix's second diagram shows top-left to top-right. I got to make sure.

yes it is,thats why i mentioned losing the 2 grounds on one end for 6 pin.sorry if i was unclear,got a banging headache.
i do have a pair of 6 pin cables too but they are buried with my second gpu because i cant play games on this POS right now anyway..

Apparently its 3 ground on top and 3 +12v on bottom,
but it would be good practise to keep the cables in line,as it appears the 6 pin pci-e cable is good for 75w,
so the cables could deliver different amounts of current to different parts of the gpu.
the plugs are just split into 6 to reduce voltage drop.

It's well worth getting a multi-meter mate, I got an "electrician's toolkit" from Argos and it comes with a multi-meter and instructions ;)
Best Father's Day present I've had so far!!

Just found this. It's a set of modular cables for Strider PSU's. Doesn't help us much, unless you wanted to take a risk trial and error style.


The cheapest way would be to rip the sleeving off of a 6-pin cable that you already have and check that way.

Just spotted this (review of the PSU):


What's with the orange wires that are in the 2x6-pins on the left, but not on the 6-pins on the right?
Do you know what they are?

Hmm can't cos I don't have them anymore, unfortunately

I've exhausted my expertise on this subject then (I don't have much :p) IMO the only options left are:
1. Get a multi-meter.
2. Do it by trial and error.



EDIT:
3. Buy one of the sets of modular cables from here, but that's the most expensive option.

the ones with orange are sata/l4p/s4p,they are on my psu anyway.
apparently the orange wire is 3.3v so this is not used on pci-e.
i think the blue plugs are pci-e (the ones connected to the psu),what baffles me is why aren't the modular set of cables in your first pic the same?

How didn't I spot that? :eek: Yea, they're SATA then.

The ones in the first pic are just a set of cables you can buy if you have a smaller case, to avoid having to hide the longer cables.

Scam and Mighty have conveyed much more than i did with words...using paintbrush no less!!! i think the conclusion here is that you DO need a multimeter to test which cable is which. the PCIe power connectors are standard fare. it's always the same cable configuration in any PSU that has 6-pin (2x3) and 8-pin (2x4), this is for when it enters the graphics card. on the PSU side however, the pin configuration is different (as has been said) due to manufacturers' proprietary design.

That confirms my thinking. Anyone know it, for sure? :D

i can tell you from experience, as a fact, because i've had to make my own cables. i used the multimeter to find out which pin had which voltage on the PSU. i already knew what the cable arrangement was going into the graphics card.

Don't know about your specific psu but when working get the black wires (ground) done first. This should help with not making an error with the other wires.

SEE Pictures: Silverstone Short Cable Set For Silverstone Stride...


USE ZOOM for looking at blue ends: Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, L...

Can you download manual for your model? It should show pin out configuration.

i can tell you from experience, as a fact, because i've had to make my own cables. i used the multimeter to find out which pin had which voltage on the PSU. i already knew what the cable arrangement was going into the graphics card.

Hmm...the PSU is identical to this



My question, are all the 4 PCIE 6/8 pin v3, v4, v5x2, etc identical power and layout? There are two v5's. I mean this kinda sounds like automobile. Brrrrrrum brum brum:laugh:


Guys, I can't understand the pictures. Thinking I will look twice though. It has to be 8 to 6 then. Do you just shove the multimeter into the hole and it gives you a reading. Sounds dangerous:roll:
