Newbie - Need help for cable management

Adam5600

Hello, i am having issues with cable management, because the fan cables are short i cant hide them but directly put it in, i dont know what to do, the computer looks ugly

I would try to reorganize it this way. What are you using the molex connector for at the top of the case?

Im not using molex connectors but my cpu cooler has one,  so it is staying there

The top right connectors are full, my cpu cooler has 2 fans,

I would put the Exhaust fan to the middle left side, but the cable is still visible, because its short

Should i remove the Exhaust fan? My temperatures are cold anyway

I fixed the motherboard cable, it now looks a little better

I think that you can still use the front fan, just rotate the fan 90 degrees and by the looks of it you can rout it trough the back, and plug it in the same header where it was.

you can use the pump fan header (you may need to set custom curve in bios) for you front fan and the middle left for your exhaust just try to run cable alongside the cooler so is less visible

Tried this, if i can fix the Exhaust fan, the front fan will be easy

Update: The Exhaust cable is completely gone. But i dont know if its safe. I hid it under the cooler of the VRAM's should i use it like this?

End result: All fans in almost no cable visibility! Hopefully this wont damage my computer

Are your case (not CPU) fans using 4 pin molex connectors?  Molex Connector:

It has molex and 3 pin, i use 3 pin so it works silently

If they're 3 Pin, they're not PWM, so they're only single speed.

 

you can clip off the 4 pin molex parts to get rid of extraneous chunks.

A splitter would let you move all the fan cables behind your board easily and make things look better for that.

Im going to buy a splitter to add 2 more fans and for good cable management

And i made a fan profile for myself, they work %20 to %60 max

3 pin fans don't work with PWM.  (Unless they're actually 4 pin.)

 

the 4th pin is the PWM portion.

Yes, I can change the voltage for the speed, it slows down if i lower the voltage, and there is a section where we can set the voltages up for performance/silence

But molex is 1 speed

well the cpu fans are the same so one can be hooked to the 3 pin and the other to the molex of the fan thats connected to the 3 pin.

if you want control for the back fan seprit from the cpu fan then thats fine if you want it the same as the cpu fans you can hook that too to the molex and hide all of it behind.

 

by hooking them all up to the cpu fan header the will all ramp up with cpu temps.
