How To Cable Manage A PSU?

Supahh

Hey, I recently copped a 750w rgb power supply, but the only problem is, is that my case (Corsair Spec Omega White) isn't very good for cable management, there is almost no room at the back to put cables in otherwise the back panel won't fit in.

 

If I put the PSU cords at the front then the problem currently is, is that I have so many wires that some are underneath my GPU fan that the right fan doesn't even spin.

 

It also isn't the best looking, so any help?

you can try hiding the cables behind or under the drive bays.

Assuming that power supply you picked up is modular, only use what you need, and try to be minimalistic. Generally speaking you don't want to cable manage your psu cables on top of the psu, just seems silly, route what you can behind it(some cases don't have a lot of room but it usually works out, even with a little elbow grease getting the back panel back on). Hide what you can behind and under the drive bays as well.

 

Good luck.

Sorry if I stop responding, I've probably gotten busy as I mostly am only on here while working.

When I built the pc, I wasn't sure on how many cables I'd need as I'm a first time builder and now I'd have difficulties to remove the un-used wires as some of the wiring may unplug without knowing.

Take the time to go through it, ask questions and get it right. Proper cable management is worth the time it takes :)
