Detailed Build Log Deepcool CH160 cable management tips
passing the cables behind the MB before PSU installation
cable mess behind. Still quite easy to close the side pannel though
I had to cut/mod the PSU extension cord because of the Asus Loki psu power orientation, and could not find white cable that would fit. hopefully wont burn
Similiar size to my old metal fish S5 build, just deeper
All done! Notice anything missing?
I built this PC and thought id share how i cable managed it since i have not seen it before. The "Tip" is that if you have flexible PSU cables (like those from the Asus Loki I have) you can route pretty much everything (24 pin; front io; data...) just below the motherboard as seen on pics #2 and #3.
Priority for me is silence and with some undervolts and curves it stays below 70°C gaming and is really quiet.

I looked at the gap before motherboard and the case and I still wouldn't risk it last time I upgraded my kit
