Hey everyone, I'm getting more comfortable with custom-sleeved wires now. The 24-pin connector connects to a 28-pin PSU end. What I've seen online suggests splicing the secondary wires near the PSU to prevent messy double wires at the connector. I'm using 16-gauge wire for the cables and need to double four wires—ground, +3.3V, +5V, and +12V. Can 16 gauge handle doubling most of the cable length? I'm new to this, so it's a bit confusing. Let me know if I'm missing anything important. Thanks!

I have since found out that the secondary wires are sensing wires, so I don't need to worry about it. Since I can figure out how to delete this post altogether, I'll mark it as solved.
