Eew that cable management.

Very nice.

I have to say, my cable management skills are disgusting, it's a little better now then in the photos, but still gross.

 

I feel I did good above the GPU, but below is a mess. My issue is some of the cables are stiff, and some of the others I don't want to pull to hard, and bend a pin or something. I'm not overly concerned with them, because I don't see those through the window on my case. But I'm getting a liquid cooler in a next few days, and I'm going to flip my PSU over when I install it, so I might mess around with my cable management skills.

 

Any tips?

Plug your fans into your mobo if possible, like the back exhaust one.

Don't use those adapters for your GPU, you should have dedicated cables for GPU power on your PSU. Use those.

Also route the GPu cables behind the mobo and bring them back right next to the GPU.

 

Try routing all your cables behind the mobo and only bring part of them back to the front, so you have less hanging around there.

Tie your cables down with zip ties and tie them together. If you have to have cables laying aroung, it is always better to have the look like one big thing instead of many.

 

If you have stiff cables like the usb 3.0 one, just zip it together with the other cables from your PSU at the bottom, so it doesn't stick out too much.

 

Is there no hole next to your 8pin to route the CPU power through? If not, you did an ok job of routing it above, maybe a little higher would be better, but I don't know if you have enough slack for that.

 

I hope I could help a little bit. It is always difficult when only looking at pictures.
