Frequently Asked Questions

For all motherboards, you will need a 24 pin and 4+4 pin CPU/EPS cable.

For graphics cards, the exact PCIE cables needed depend on the make and model of your card. I recommend navigating to the manufacturer's website and checking the specifications for power requirements. 

The vast majority of recent graphics cards require a single 8 pin PCIE cable, 8 & 6 pin PCIE cables, or 2x 8 pin PCIE cables.

SATA power cables are used to connect 2.5/3.5" HDDs or SSDs. They are also used to power most AIO liquid coolers.

Molex power cables are most commonly used to power custom watercooling pumps.

You can find a list of cases we are planning to add to our site and products list here, as well as an estimate of when we will add them to our store. 

If you do not see your case on that list or on our site, unfortunately we do not currently sell cables for that case.

Normal PSU orientation in the T1 is the standard 'sandwich' style case setup. In this position the PSU's modular ports will be on the same side of the case as the radiator and fan mounting.

The 'flipped' PSU uses an extra bracket included with the case to position the PSU so that the PSU's modular ports are on the same side as the motherboard's PCIE slot. The 24 pin and 8 pin EPS cables in this setup need to be much longer in order to reach the motherboard.

Note: The case can be flipped (with the radiator at the top of the case) without flipping the PSU. This is the 'normal' PSU orientation.

This refers to the mounting position and fan direction of the PSU in the NCASE M1.

Yes, all Corsair SF models use the same Corsair Type 4 pinout. The cables are interchangeable. The only difference between the gold and platinum versions is that the platinum models require the sense wires to be installed on the 24 pin.

I ask for your motherboard model so that the cables can be as close to the exact length needed from the PSU to motherboard as possible. If you already have some of my cables and are considering an upgrade, take a look at the 24 pin and EPS power connector placements from the current motherboard to new motherboard. If they are in the exact same position or close, the cables should fit.

I ask for your GPU model so that the cables can be as close to the exact length needed from the PSU to GPU as possible. The provided model must also include the manufacturer, as some companies orient the power connectors on the GPU in different directions.

EVGA/Nvidia Founder’s Edition/AMD reference cards have the power connector latches facing the fans like the top card in the photo, whereas Asus/Gigabyte/MSI/Zotac/Sapphire cards have the power connectors latches facing the back plate like the lower card in the photo.

Other variables are taken into consideration too, such as length and height of the card.

The sense wires are the double wires that are found on the 24 pin cable. These wires sense the voltage at the motherboard end and do not send any voltage of their own. Corsair, Silverstone, and Seasonic use four sense wires and EVGA uses five. They are used to monitor the 12v, 5v, 3.3v rails, as well as a ground (with two ground sense wires on the EVGA PSU).

Cables for Corsair SF Gold and Silverstone PSUs are still 100% stable without the sense wires installed. Myself and many of my customers have found their overclocks and undervolts to be completely stable without the sense wires with the above power supplies. However, they are required for stable operation with Corsair SF Platinum, Seasonic, and EVGA PSUs.

Please note that while sense wires are not needed for Corsair SF Gold and Silverstone PSUs, they are required for stable operation for the Corsair SF Platinum, EVGA, and Seasonic PSUs.

Although all Silverstone PSUs share the same pinout, I ask for the specific model due to the placement of the modular power connectors on the PSU being in different places across different models. There is also the size of the SFX-L PSUs to consider.

The 4+4 connector allows the connector to be separated into two 4 pin connectors at the motherboard end of the cable (just like the stock PSU cables). One of these 4 pin connectors can then be used on a motherboard that only has a 4 pin connector for CPU power. The connector can later be combined if the motherboard is changed/upgraded to one with a 8 pin CPU power connector.

No, at the moment I only make sleeved SATA power cables.

No, I do not have any pre-made cables at this time due to high demand of my made-to-order cables.

Yes! Please follow the instruction here to request a custom paracord color.

Sorry, cables are only offered with paracord sleeving. Cables won't be made with MDPC-X, Teflon, or other plastic sleeving.

If you are interested in a custom paracord color not offered on the site, please follow the instructions here.

Yes, it is completely normal for wires to cross in some cables. 

In those situations, the wires must cross so that the voltages sent from the power supply can align properly with the motherboard.  

Not all cables will cross; it is dependent on your case and components. Please don't be alarmed if you see crossed wires. We hand-craft all cables here at pslate customs, then check and test each cable before shipping them out. 

Yes, rush processing is now integrated into the product listings. 

Note: You must add rush processing (2 day or 1 week) for every item in your cart for your order to be rushed.

Recently we've experienced some sort of glitch in the system where customers add rush processing for all cables, but it does not appear in your cart at checkout. Please make sure that you are paying a separate rush processing fee for each cable you purchase. If it will not work for you, please make a note  of this error in the cart, or follow up with an email to support@pslatecustoms.com . We will then follow up and invoice you for the difference so you can get your cables processed, built, and shipped within 2 days or 1 week. 

We are working on fixing this glitch and appreciate your patience in the meantime!
