6 pin wiring explained

[theDTP]

I am sleeving my cables and decided to do the graphics card first but there is one thing I noticed.

The bottom 3 yellow wires and top 3 black wires don't go straight and it's really messing with the look of the end result.

For example, take the yellows, you unpin the middle one at the PSU end and unpin it from the other end also but it's not in the middle, they cross each other.

What is this madness, can I put them in straight lines and not cross them as long as all 3 yellows are on bottom and all 3 black on top?

Sorry if my explanation is bad, it's hard to describe.

all the 6-pin at the GPU are the same, it'd be the PSU pinout thats messing you all up.
the black wires will be on the clip-side and yellow on the non-clip side at the GPU.
and depending on the pinout on the PSU is whether they will "coss" or not.

That's great information, doing the 24pin now and wow it's messy. The wires are crossing all over the place.

solid color sleeving isn't the chore. its multi-color. like the 24-pin usually has a blank
slot and doubles up pin 19 (which i usually make that layer solid) and keep the fancy
patern available for the wrap over layer (1-12)
