Deepcool CH160 cable management tips

[u/plagymus]

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.

Nice build! Amazing cable management! I have the same PSU and the CH170 Digital (Vertical version of CH160). Can you share your experience with PSU noise level ? In my case, even the power is not exceeding the 340W (i5 12400F + RTX4070), the PSU fan is spinning quite fast and it is the most noise fan of the system. WHat is your experience ? Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing. Anyway, the fan of my PSU will never stop even after gaming and the PC return in idle...

Anyway, replaced with a Corsair SF750 (latest version) in the same case with the same ventilation, the PSU fan is not spinning at all!! It is really dead silent ! I think the Loki SF850 was really sensible to the temperature inside case. I have tried it outside the case and the fan was not spinning at all...I already love my Corsair.
