The cable ends are firm and you can't bend them. My case is an R6. Im trying to plug them from the upper gaps but i cant, since the CPU ATX connectors are right there under the gap, it wouldn't bend. MOBO is x570 Aorus Pro. Im really wonder how people even do any cable management like this. I don't know how im supposed to plug this while making it look somewhat decent.

Do you have the board screwed in already?

The way I nowadays do it - after the great Linus said it in a video - is a I plug in the 8 pin EPS when the board is not installed yet, then run the cable through the cable management hole and boom. Easy plugging in (since there is not a cooler in the way) and good cable management.

In my experience you don't really hear think one cable click.

Just try pulling it out (without pushing on the latch on it). It either plugs out (because the latches didn't snap on the connector) or it stays basically in place. If it stays basically in place, it's good. Just push it down and you're good.

any advice in what to do with the 4pin unused 12v1 atx cable? i concerned that since its just flapping aroud there, its going to create sound, like vibration  as the fans start turning

You can try to tuck it away behind the cable management panel, or just tie-wrap it somewhere, so it won't move around.

Assuming you actually mean EPS connector, not ATX, you can't bend it because there are capacitor inside the cable at the very end to lower the ripple, just keep this part perpendicular to the board and bend it where you can.

Yes, it's pain in the ass, but you have no other choice, there will be just a bit of cable sticking out, that's fine.

Tag or quote me so i see your reply
