How can I prevent these PCIe cables from sagging?

lerodemmy

I can push these cables up and make them look a little better, but they sag a bit as soon as I let go.

 

I’d like to find a solution that doesn’t involve putting something else in the case to prop them up.

 

Any thoughts?

Use the side cable channel instead of the one on the PSU shroud?

Other than using something to prop them up or binding them togheter with string there is little else to do

 

These cables will relax no matter what and the only thing you can do is bind or prop.

 

Maybe someone makes a cable clip that can work for this but it will be something extra

if you have access to a 3D printer you could maybe print something like this, with the radius you want the cables to be in and then attach/glue the cable combs to it.

This way the 3D print can be very narrow, and inside of the radius so it is obscured by the cables. And it will still keep the bend just the way you want it.
