Anyone have an H510 Elite case?

[GamerBlake]

If so, was it hard for you to do cable management in it?

Seems to have 19-23mm of cable management space at the back according to the specs, should be enough for most things.

Oh ok, I’d just like to do cable management correctly for once instead of having these bird nest things in my case that look crappy.

That ARGB controller is supposed to be at the back of the case  That's why it is magnetic, so it can stick to the back panel on the other side   Cable management is done at the back.  If you have a lot of cables at the front...then you just need to stuff them at the back.

I actually tried that the first time but then my thermal glass panel wouldn’t fit on. Mine doesn’t seem to be magnetic because I tried sticking it to the case itself and it was like trying to get wood to stick to metal. It just fell off regardless of which side I tried to stick.

Put it near something else metallic, like a screwdriver.  It definitely should be magnetic.  But like on the other thread, you don't need it unless you specifically want to use that controller for ARGB.

Nah I’d prefer not to use the controller but I don’t think my old motherboard (MSI Z370-A Pro) had enough fan headers. I think my new MSI MEG Z390 ACE should though since apparently it’s a much higher tier motherboard.

You need at most 3.  1 for the rear exhaust, 1 for the pump and 1 more for the splitter.

Oh well I’m sure my new mobo has at least 3. Afterall it does have 10x USB ports.

The asus has 6 fan headers.  The MSI has 7.

Oooh ok. That’s weird I only saw like 2 or at most 3. Maybe I missed something.

Not according to the PDF manual for your board

So what should I do after installing and screwing in the motherboard?

 

Like after I tested it which parts should I plug into it first when it’s in the case?

PSU --> AIO --> RAM + CPU + Mobo --> GPU -> Everything else

Oh crap! The PSU and AIO are supposed to go in first? Before the motherboard?

 

Should I take out the mobo and redo it?

It doesn't really matter, this is just the preferred way so you have enough space in the case to work with.  As long as you can fit everything without damaging anything then order doesn't matter.

Well I mean I want to do whichever way makes cable management the easiest

Then that doesn't matter cos all the cables will be hanging out at the back of the case anyway.   You're only doing cable management once everything is in place, so it doesn't matter which goes in first.

Ahh ok that might be why I’ve had so much trouble with it in the past. I used to install each item one at a time and plug in all the cables for each one after they were installed.
