GS Power 24 AWG (American Wire Gauge) OFC Pure Copper 100 ft Red Black Bonded Zip Cord Cable for 12Volt Auto Harness Model Train Radio Drone ATV Wiring (Also in 50 & 200 Feet Roll)

hey guys welcome to elevated systems I'm your host CJ in my last build series I used this 16 gauge solid copper wire to make a custom 8 and 6 pin PCI ee cable for the graphics card and I was asked how this differs from using standard stranded wire like this so since my goal is always to teach you something new I'm gonna take this opportunity to share a few tips on working with solid copper wire [Music] now I've already done a pretty extensive video series on rewiring a PC case where I went over all these tools and what the connectors are and how they work if you haven't seen those particularly part one you can check them out here this is more of a continuation of that series than a standalone tutorial call it part three okay the first thing I want to do is show you the two types of wire I typically use when I custom cable a system the first is your standard 16 gauge stranded copper wire
