Installing Cable Combs?

[CC268]

I know this seems like a silly question, but I am doing my first build and I am using CableMod E Series cables (red/black). I noticed on the 24 pin motherboard connector that not all the cables correspond to a single port - some of the ports have two cables going into them. This makes it difficult to get the cable comb to house all 24 cables correctly and in order. Do you guys have any tricks or tips?

 

I was able to get it to look good, but it isn't perfect - I am guessing I will just have to deal with it.

 

Also, do you guys usually use cable combs towards the Power Supply? I am not sure but I don't think you will be able to see the cables coming into the power supply through my side window of my Fractal Design Define S case anyways.

 

Any help, tricks, or tips is highly appreciated.

I only worry about the cables that will be visible when the side panel is off, so I start from the 24-pin connected to the motherboard and comb back from there

Usually there are only single cables that go o the PSU since most use the double wire method but they might have not done that on the cable mod cables which does pose an issue using cable combs since you don't have a slot for two wires to be houses in the comb.

Yea exactly...I have read that this is common with the EVGA wiring...it isn't a huge deal as it actually looks really good still...you would have to really look to notice that 2 or 3 of the cables aren't in the comb - and I made it so they are on the underside so you can't really tell anyways.
