Hey everyone
il make this as short as i can :- i have a kmex 500watt PSU and i got it for my second lan party rig and after i putt all the parts together and assembled it in the case which is a mATX it looked very untidy thats coz the case is small and the psu wire are very long so i decided to do something that i deeply regret right now [ i cut the following wire :-
1) 6pin GFx wire
2)floppy wire
3)all 6 of the 4 pin wire cable
i did this coz im the type of guy who always opens my case on a daily bases just to have a look and make shure everythin is fine , now dont worry i cut them and put duck tap over each and every1 of them so that there wouldnt be a electro shock thingee (cant find the word in mind at the momement) and this is all on the inside if the PSU and i zip zaped them all and the only wires remaing are the 4 pin mobo and the 24 pin mobo pwr, and the 2 sata pwr cables and i put these 3 wires very nicly and it looks perfect and the pc is alright , but im just worried that something might happen , Do u think i should remove the PSU board inside and remove the wires 1 by 1 via melting the soldering points ? thanks

Jump to PostThey should be fine as they are provided tape job is adequate to prevent shorting. I've done essentially the same thing to remove excess wires when assembling systems in windowed cases. I use 1/8" heat shrink tubing to cover ends of wires.
Jump to PostYou are much better with a soldering iron than I am if you can do that successfully. It's your PC, do what you wish.
Jump to PostWell As long as you don't poke your fingers into your case while the PSU is on, it will be fine. Have you cut the wires but left the attachments still connected to the mobo? Is that what you mean?
