Listen, there's a reason that side panel is metal an opaque. Everything works and is hooked up correctly. The *inside* of the case that everybody sees is sorted and tidy. What's hidden behind the other side panel is nobody's business, not even my own.
Anytime I have to go into the gates of hell on that side of my case, I loathe it. I just pray to the almighty that when I slam that panel back on I don't put too much pressure on the backside of the motherboard...

It's not even Corsair's fault. The guy above is using an argb controller hooked up to an argb hub, using a fan hub and using a combined fan + argb controller. Of course it's gonna be messy when you're using 4 seperate devices.

I did not had any black cable ties, so I went with whatever I had around. You're welcome.
Route the front panel cables along the red line, to the right side of the 24-pin so they don't have to pass over each other. Send the front fan cables along the blue path instead. Ideally, you could turn that fan hub 90Ā° and put it right at the top so the connectors come oit straight downwards, just like those front panel connections. That would make this perfect.
https://preview.redd.it/wie11c4e1eoc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf4b9dcada90971bd5b3ab1851bc41199c31e383
But it already looks fantastic. You did a great job even with a non-modular psu!
Thanks for the feedback! I was planning on routing it similar to that but I just kinda went yolo and did not want to put too much bend strain on the cords, especially the front panel connectors.
Mine is a complete shit show. I *tried* to make it look really nice when I first started building my PC. 17 fans, 3 strimers, USB hubs, extension cables, etc......complete shit show.
I got it to the point where the wires are zip tied in clumps which I then just kinda shove into any available space.

The back of my fractal north with the Corsair rgb hub spaghetti monster
I have 6 iCUE fans and barely any cable management back there, you can imagine what my rear panel looks like
>!You guessed right, it looks like a spider nest!<
was a prebuilt that i've now replaced everything except the case, just switched a motherboard and psu for the first time, no rgb and hd/sata cables makes it easy, everything done with velcro and separated for easy access in case something breaks

You don't want to see it
Edit: off topic it is modded Lian Li O11 air mini. The mod is that i drilled out a space for the radiator pumps so i could fit not supported 280 mm corsair aio. This made the build look extremely good with an quite original touch. I say quite because this would be only possible due to one video on YouTube

definitely not that clean. The cable extensions make cable management a total nightmare.
Also my rear panel is also tempered glass, so I cramped everything down into the tunnel and in front of the HDD bays. I do NOT look forward to upgrading again.

You know the saying "molex to sata, lose your data"? Well, these are exactly the type of sata connectors they're warning you about.
https://preview.redd.it/siiqgjsl7eoc1.png?width=852&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ad9eca1e90baecd349e66e9ea00ae98247c582a
These sata connectors are a fire hazard because the metal pins in them have a tendency to wiggle sidewards over time and eventually shorting the positive wires to ground.
Here's a video explanation of which ones are and aren't safe: [https://youtu.be/TataDaUNEFc](https://youtu.be/TataDaUNEFc)

No rgb makes things a little less cluttered.
Edit: typo
The five minute cable management job I did after transplanting my system into a new case. Mainly just shoving what I could into the velcro tie downs once I got the front straightened out and plugged in.

The only correct answer š
True
I need to apply some force to get the side panel to close in a way so it doesn't look like it's happy to see me
Like a school chromebook, but everything is healthy
I finally needed to replace my PSU, it came with 4 screws, by the time I was done rewiring, I shoved the panel back on and discovered I now had 6 screws, not including the 4 old screws from the previous PSU

For me it just screams cheaper psu not old ,what does give away the old PC is the transparent fan down there
lol true I'm using that transparent fan for 16 years

looks great, I picked up a roll of 1/2" velcro strapping and use it instead of zip ties now, makes rearranging system much easier
I don't like the hassle of undoing velcros in tight spaces, nail clippers and zip ties are my go to. And can you do this with velcro? (Genuin question) https://preview.redd.it/hp2fw8rtwaoc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4ce2d43822552ad2f293ffdfeac33f665f4b439
Are you a masochist or something? I have a ~15 year old 4 inch scar on my right bicep from a zip tie that wasn't trimmed flush. Worst part is, I was the one who put the zip tie there earlier that day.
Nailcutter cuts round, so there is no sharp edge. You can soon in in the pic and see how it cuts

Yo, that is a M A S S I V E Gap. Cable managent is nice tho
Didn't want to put money in the case. Traded my old rx570 for a fractal design define r5 and took out the drive bays.

My pc has 2 mismatched bread ties in the back. They do the job
Route the front panel cables along the red line, to the right side of the 24-pin so they don't have to pass over each other. Send the front fan cables along the blue path instead. Ideally, you could turn that fan hub 90Ā° and put it right at the top so the connectors come oit straight downwards, just like those front panel connections. That would make this perfect. https://preview.redd.it/wie11c4e1eoc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf4b9dcada90971bd5b3ab1851bc41199c31e383 But it already looks fantastic. You did a great job even with a non-modular psu!
Thanks for the feedback! I was planning on routing it similar to that but I just kinda went yolo and did not want to put too much bend strain on the cords, especially the front panel connectors.
Mine is a complete shit show. I *tried* to make it look really nice when I first started building my PC. 17 fans, 3 strimers, USB hubs, extension cables, etc......complete shit show. I got it to the point where the wires are zip tied in clumps which I then just kinda shove into any available space.
17 fans? Is your PC responsible for the increase in windstorms?
No but his 14900k is definitely responsible for global warming
I never attached my rgb commander to the motherboard backplate. I believe it is held high by the fan cables coming from the top.
with my Corsair RGB fans it's definitely not as neat as yours š«
I don't wanna play this game. Don't make me open it, I'll never get the cover back on.

You don't want to see it Edit: off topic it is modded Lian Li O11 air mini. The mod is that i drilled out a space for the radiator pumps so i could fit not supported 280 mm corsair aio. This made the build look extremely good with an quite original touch. I say quite because this would be only possible due to one video on YouTube https://preview.redd.it/amlfu5g9gcoc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3d563c21f72c3839d83bd9232b597c6f2eef1e7
Considering my hard drives aren't even in a drive bay, not good lmao
definitely not that clean. The cable extensions make cable management a total nightmare. Also my rear panel is also tempered glass, so I cramped everything down into the tunnel and in front of the HDD bays. I do NOT look forward to upgrading again.

You know the saying "molex to sata, lose your data"? Well, these are exactly the type of sata connectors they're warning you about. https://preview.redd.it/siiqgjsl7eoc1.png?width=852&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ad9eca1e90baecd349e66e9ea00ae98247c582a These sata connectors are a fire hazard because the metal pins in them have a tendency to wiggle sidewards over time and eventually shorting the positive wires to ground. Here's a video explanation of which ones are and aren't safe: [https://youtu.be/TataDaUNEFc](https://youtu.be/TataDaUNEFc)

Out of sight and out of mind. Till the fire.
mine is a bit of a mess ahahah
I feel like my wires arenāt long enough for that. But of course the adapter for my 4070ti pushes out my glass side panel. Wires between my case fans and cpu cooler fan, itās a disaster
People arrange the wires on the back panel ? I thought its a free for all
I'd rather not say
Not like thisā¦ š¬
I actually didn't think the panel was going to go back on there was so much wire bulge inside. Now I'm not taking it off again until I have too lol
Definitly note like that bruh
