So where did you get that braiding from ?

I might ask Corsair if it voids the warranty, me doing that.

It most likely does, you have to remove each pin from the plug, braid it, heatshrink it, takes fooking ages haha.

Got all the materials off chilledpc, and for removing the pins, use a strong needle.

I wasnt fussed about voiding this things warranty because ill be upgrading it in the future.

Well Corsair let me de-braid the 24 pin connector without voiding the warranty, so I'll see if I can re-braid, (just differently) without voiding warranty :D

Did you follow MKMods guide?

Lol.

Just thinking you just spent ages doing that 24 pin mod, and now your thinking of replacing a PSU that doesnt need to be! :eek:

Mind you if given the chance, I would buy the HX1000w on my next upgrade, why , because I can! :D

Its about the only thing driving me to get a job this summer, hmm, maybe I'll blow it all on a i7 and dual GTX295 rig! :rockout:

Then in a few hours I'll be thinking, "What a f*cking waste of money" :laugh:

EDIT:

Damn I got to stop finishing off each line/sentence with a smiley :rolleyes:

I have the power to close/delete this thread at any time.

If I get an i7, Ill just start an X58 club.

Nah I'm only joking, my next upgrade, (well planned one), is Intel P57 and i5.

So when the time comes I will probably start an Asus P57 club! :D

Still really want a HX1000w, but I will most likely keep this one.

@ kyle, do you have the link to MKmods guide, I want to link corsair to it so I can ask em. :toast:
