Alright so I just finished the new build and am now in a cable management hell, the push-pull mounting of my GPU AIO really limits my room on the right side of the board can I get any suggestions on how to better manage the sata/usb3 cables that are built into the case and do not allow me to upgrade to right angle cables? Also anyone know if the kingpins fan built into the card comes with a power cable for the fan? Don't know if I just lost that shit or if It didn't even come with the card. Also general suggestions on good cables I could use to spruce this girl up.

Specs:

Lian Li 011 dynamic xl

MSI Z490 Godlike

Intel 10900k

64g 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance

Nvidia RTX 3090 Kingpin

2tb Samsung 970 Evo

Take out the motherboard(and gpu)

route all cables, then put it on, it’s the easiest way

I could use some help with this!

please, pm me if you would like to contribute to my gpu bios database (includes overclocking bios, stock bios, and upgrades to gpus via modding)

Of course but this does not help with the sata and usb cables going into the motherboard that are built into the case that can't be bent to go through the cable management holes cleanly behind my fans without something breaking. I need new cables somehow but can't see an easy way to remove them from the case since they look built in. That or sata and usb headers elsewhere

That Board should have sata cables with a 90° angle. Why not use those on the motherboard?

By the way why are you using standard sata cables? Doesn't the godlike come with braided sata cables?

 

USB? For the front IO?

The board comes with 90 degree satas. However the front io for the case and the sata cables for my rear hard drive docks are all one piece cables built into the case and I am pretty sure I can't change them up. Unless I get female to male 90° sata cables and USB 3 connectors

So far my ideas so far are right angle adaptors like Right angle Sata and Right angle Usb3. Along with the Lian li strimmer cables to help clean up the right side of the board, at least the 24 pin strimmer anyways. The triple 8 pin is mounted on the side of the gpu and is not in a good spot to turn cleanly with a strimmer I think. Anyone know of any lateral angle triple 8 pin power cables? These adaptors for usb and sata should work for my case cables that can't be replaced except for my 4th sata drive. Since my sata layout is two layers of 3 horizontal ports I will be unable to stack a 4th adaptor on top of any of the others on the first layer. Any thoughts?
