Techspectre Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I've got a GS800 and despite the fact that it's a non-modular PSU, I love it. It's nice, it's quiet, it looks great, and it's got some fancy lights. So even though I'm doing my first case-modding project now and I'm investing a lot of time, money and effort into making a really special machine, I have no desire to go for a different PSU. So I'm modifying my GS800. I just bought the red trim and emblems for it (couldn't even believe Corsair made that) and I'm sleeving all its wires. Thing is, I can't for the life of me get these pins - not a single one - to come out of the ATX plugs. I have the tool, and I even bought a clamp to hold it in place, but they absolutely refuse to come loose. I've got other PSUs and their pins come out in a snap. I'm wondering, since the GS800 was never meant to be sleeved, are the pins on the GS800 glued into place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 just a suggestion, get an ATX extension cable of good quality and sleeve that? or find one already sleeved. im trying to remember if sleeving the hard wired cables voids the warranty.

Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted March 22, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 22, 2014 No, they're not glued in. What tool set did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techspectre Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 I bought the $5 tool on eBay but it works fine on two other PSUs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted March 23, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 23, 2014 I don't know what "the $5 tool on ebay" is since ebay is an auction site and not a retailer.... But I was asking because some pin removal tools ARE better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
