sleeving VGA cables from PSU

[pogitangkad]

I am starting to get things ready for my custom sleeving, and I decided to ohm out the connectors to make sure I knew how the cables were pinned out.

Here are two 8 to 6+2 VGA cables. One of them is already taken apart. Now I have two questions.

The two cables had a slightly different pinout for two sets of pins. Also, I have not seen anyone include a cap on their VGA sleeving jobs. The cables included with my EVGA PSU have a cap added.


I am not using these cables because my cards require an 8+6 setup. The PSU came with 2 of this type of cable and I am using them as shown in this picture.

these also have a cap (under the heat shrink on the 6pin connector), and the 6 pin connector is tied to the 8 pin. So the cable is 8 to 8+6. Would I have more stable power to the card if I used all 4 VGA ports on the PSU to power my cards (ie. 8 to 8 and 8 to 6 for each card)? Also, would I add a cap the each connector since the 8 and 6 are tied together or just the 6 pin connectors?

and I thought this was going to be straight forward.

I think as long as the top pins go to the top and the bottom go to the bottom their order doesn't matter much, as they only have black and yellow cables so ground being black and yellow being 12v. Like I said I think.

I have been looking into the capacitors on the VGA cables. It seems they are used to reduce noise and "jitter". It seems odd that it is only connected to two pins. Do the other pins not have noise or jitter? Is it all tied in at the power suppy and video card anyway?

I will still include them when I sleeve the cables. I have thought of a way to keep the sleeving uniform and add the wires from the caps without breaking the "look".

My next big question is: Do I run four VGA connections from my power supply(8 to 8 and 8 to 6 per card), or should I keep the current setup of using just two vga connections from the PSU(8 to 8+6 per card)?
