Is it worth the effort to make custom cables, or should I just work on better cable management?
I don’t make my own. I ordered from modDIY.com. Came in quick and exactly to spec.
I’d recommend finding the exact length you need by searching online, then ordering to spec. It’ll make your life a lot easier.
How concerned do I need to be about pinout if I go through a supplier like modDIY? My understanding is that it’s not recommended to mix and match PSU cables from multiple manufacturers.
Not sure what you mean by “worth” here, it’s a bit of tedious work, the other day I stumbled on an YT comment response saying author spent around 8 hours making a motherboard 24pin cable, I’d say it’s worth it if you absolutely need it, dude’s cables were perfect length and shape tho
I just got done making sleeved cables for a fightstick, so I’m not afraid of the tedium. Just concerned about burning my build up.
I have seen news about custom cables catching fire. I’d day stick with good quality cable unless you are absolutely sure about what you are doing.
dreambigbyray on etsy’s cables have been going strong for me in my ncase for about 3 years now. it makes cable management so much easier when theyre appropriately sized imo. l
I got mine from pslate, 10/10 would buy again. Shipping to Europe was my only issue, apparently USPS sucks ;)
