Re: DIY 6x6-pin PCI-E cable using 14AWG wires for 006C extenders and a server PSU
Can you fit 12-14AWG wire in a crimp pin? If you're daisychaining, can you fit 2 12-14AWG wires in a crimp pin? Since you're building a GPU rig, does this question belong in a different section?
That's a good point that I haven't though of. Thanks for bringing it up.I've made 100's
Solder the pins on, don't crimp.
Get a system going, cut and strip cables one day (get the Mrs to do that)
Then tin 100's of pins and all the cable ends
Then solder cables, break pins off and push into plugs
It's tedious but more than doable
I use 0.75mm2 flex (2/3 sets of plugs) into 2.5mm2 with solder join -> PSU
Otherwise you have too many cables.
I use 6/8 2.5 cables to Power all the plugs

This sounds excellent. Would you mind sharing pictures so I can get a visual representation of your solution? Would this work - solder join each small 18-20 AWG wire to a big 12AWG wire?
