Hey guys

 

So im building this system in a 900d with cwc and its going to take 23 fans for the 5 rads, the fans im using are gentle typhoons ap-15 and im having a little problem with the cable management of all those fans because they are not sleeved and all i see it red/yellow/black wires everywhere which looks kinda messy so i was thinking to use some black duct tape on each 3 to keep them all together and after use some zip ties to gather the cables of every fan to the splitter

 

Good idea MacGyver, bad idea Sherklock, whats your opinion?

 

I need something really simple because with so many fans something more elaborated would take ages

 

Thanks and Cheers!

It'd be easier to get some sleeving to sleeve the cables, or some 3:1 heat shrink to go over the whole length of the cable, rather than duct tape since it tends to leave a stick mess.

Try amazon or either electrical stores but online you'll get the best deals, personally I say still get some sleeving and do all the fans if you can spare the time it'll give it just that much more to it.

 

Here's 16ft of it should be more than enough to do all those fans  :D
