Hey all...quick PSU question for you folks:
I have a Thermaltake Toughpower 1000W PSU, and it has 2 4 pin CPU power connectors, and an 8 pin power connector (in addition to the 24 pin ATX connection). At present time, I only need the ATX 24 pin and 1 of the CPU 4 pin connector. For the sake of cable management, I want to remove the other connectors I don't need. Here are my questions:
Is it OK to cut the extra wires? I plan on saving everything, and if I need them in the future, I will solder the connections back together.
The 4 pin I want to cut is 2 yellow, and 2 black. The 8 pin is 4 black, 3 yellow, and 1 yellow with an orange stripe. Does it matter if when I later solder the wires whether or not I solder the exact same yellow or black that I cut, or can I go black to black, yellow to yellow, and yellow/orange to yellow/orange?
Thanks in advance for your responses!
