Getting rid of extra cabling on an Enermax
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2002 11:54 am
I have one of the early FC Enermax PSUs that I've been running w/ just the 92mm fan for some time now. The only thing I find irksome is that I'm running the PSU in a regular ATX system, and I've got all these P4 auxilliary connectors hanging around. It didn't bother me so much when it was in my big tower case, but now I've got it in a minitower (only about 13.5" tall-- the PSU mounts sideways so that the 92mm fan is facing the motherboard (full ATX MB, not micro)), and having all that extra cabling in there makes working on the components difficult, and I'm sure it doesn't help out airflow either.
So what I wanted to ask is, does anyone know anything about just cutting these extra cables off? Should I try to de-solder them from where they are attached inside the PSU, or should I just snip the cables very short and use heatshrink to cap the ends? Will any of this affect the power output on the other connectors? (I can't imagine why it would.)
Thanks!
