Cable management HELP!

Hi guys,

I finished my build and everything is pretty ok except I am worrying about PCI E cable which goes under the gpu fan (Cable is 2 cm away from fan) and my side panel is hard to put on, but with a bit of force I managed to put it. Power Supply that I'm using is Corsair CX450M which has flat cables except 24pin and cpu cable. Some flat cables are folded with zip ties (don't know is that a good way to call it) and I don't know is that good.   So I want to know are those problems or I can leave it like that.

Stay strong guys!

Pretty sure this is a case-related issue if the cables are making the whole build too wide for the case panel to be put on - in that case, i'd recommend not putting it on at all because you're squishing the GPU and its pins.... At least that's how i understood your issue

not the front window panel, but the rear panel from "behind".

Oooooh so if you're looking at the PC from the front, it's the right panel, right? Yeah those squish the cables all the time. Uploading photos of the case/build would still make everything a bit easier though

That's actually not half as bad as i expected. It's quite good! You can try routing the PCI-e cables over the GPU or by the side if you wish to maximise the airflow.

First of all. 

Please do not quote the OP. When you quote his post you also copy/paste all his screens over and over again. I had to scroll a lot to find the last post.

Now, OP  @begadelavela you did a great job buddy. It looks great and you don't have to worry about that cable and about the distance between the fan and the cable since it won't move at all. 

Keep up the good job.
