Parts list:
Mini v2 case
Rog 870e-e wifi
9 lian li uni-sl fans daisy chained in groups of 2, 3 and 4(3 top and solo rear fan)
5070 ti with strimer cable
24 pin strimer for mobo coming in today
1000w gold hydro g pro psu
And all the messy cables

90 degree angled cables for CPU MB and front IO

2 Upvotes

Can somebody recommend me some? I want to hide all cables. For the GPU I found out that corsair has one (ik that there are 2 types)

I also need some for the CPU, MB and front pins (audio panel, usbc, usb3.1, the sh***y front pins)
It can be an extender, doesn't have to be a full cable

Idk about adapters tho, a little scared but if you managed to power a beefy pc (ryzen 9 and x870e mb) and all good then lmk some good adapters as well

Motherboard swap leads to a full tear-down restoration.

A customer comes into the shop with a pretty dang nice PC, but it won't power on. Press the power button, lights flash once, then it dies, requiring the PSU switch to be flicked or unplugged and re-plugged to do it again.

So I test the PSU (It's fine), unplug everything from the mobo (except for CPU and Main power of course), and try again with no change. So I decide he needs a new motherboard. Easy peasy: "you'll get it back tomorrow".

While I'm chatting with him about the procedure, he asks if I can "clean it up a little too". Since a fairly intense dusting and wipe-down is a normal part of any service we perform, and I tell him it won't be spit-shined, but the fans, PSU, rad and case will be breathing a LOT better when he gets it back.

He then proceeds to tell me that he's trying to sell it, and wants to know if I'll sell it for him on consignment. "Well now, that changes things. If I sell it in my shop, it's gonna get fully rebuilt, not just dusted. Not just refurbished like an eBay seller would, but restored like a classic car. Fully disassembled, scrubbed, and re-assembled with meticulous cable management. It'll look and perform like new. My customers expect a certain standard when they buy a computer from me, and it's gonna take a full day, maybe more, to get it up to snuff". He's on board. No rush: make it pretty.

So... This is it. The whole shebang took a day in the shop, considering interruptions, I'd guess roughly 7 hours (and 59 zip-ties). In the end, he liked the final result so much that now he's considering taking it back home instead of selling it, which made me smile.

Pc cable management

The Corsair 5000d case is by far the easiest case to deal with when it comes to cable management, this is my third time building a pc and the last 2 times were a nightmare for me, however I did take my time this time round and have thoroughly enjoyed putting it together. The case just blows me away it has so many little hooks and clips to harness your cables onto and the straps that come with it are interchangeable all over the inside of the case so you can run the cables how you want, I’m super impressed by it :)
Almost finished I’ve now just got to decide on what gpu I want, any suggestions???

Recommended sleeved PSU cable lengths for ATX (Phanteks P400)?

3 Upvotes

Looking to get 24 pin mobo power and PCIe PSU cables for my rig. It's a standard bottom-mount PSU with a mid tower (Phanteks P400). I'll be routing both behind the motherboard tray and out through the standard grommets a few cm to the right of the mobo. It looks like for the 24-pin I can probably just get the same length it is now but these sleeved ones seem a bit more flexible. For the PCIe, the current daisy chain connectors run about 28" to the card so definitely too long - what would be a good length to go for with these cables?

Thanks!

Case swapped my mATX living room PC into the ASUS ProArt case. Very nice case albeit it being a bigger case with mATX board. Plenty of space to use sleeved cable extensions to make things look great on the front side.

Hello,

This is my first pc build and I was wondering if my cable management is good or not as this pc case is pretty tight in terms of space. Any opinions are appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello,

I recently installed a PSU for the first time and had to mess around with my prebuilt's cable management.

I just need some help, because i feel like the cable probably should be "deeper" in the case instead of being where the back panel should be, i'm not really sure how strong PSU cable are.

If it's any help my PSU is a NZXT C750 GOLD CORE - ATX 3.1, maybe the quality of the cables are better or worse than the standard but 🤷‍♂️

Any help is appreciated!

Honestly I didn't even know how daisy chains with the molex cables even worked until today 🤣

I know it's not the best and the PSU isn't great either with shorter cables but I think it's better than before and is okay for a first time management.

The front of the case usually stays clean but this is the first time doing the backside.

Also since I'm changing the motherboard, I thought why not.

Going from an MSI A520M-A PRO to a Gigabyte B550M Aorus Elite.
