    A proper GPU power cable instead of janky adapters.

  2. GABE_EDD

    Zip tie it all together into one thick cable and try to tuck the whole thing as neatly as you can away under the GPU and into the back/under of the case

    You can Get cable extensions for 25-35 $

    Get a 16-pin cable extension. Operates exactly the same as that adapter, but with the cable being much longer you can tuck away the unsightly seam between the actual PSU cable connectors and the end of the extension.

    Zip ties for an immediate, cheap fix.

  6. proper extensions, also get some of them cable ties the strap/tape/sorta like velcro kind to hold the pipes together for the cooler, as well as tightening the other cables up. neat lines is the win.

    Get a case without a window and then it doesn’t matter.

    Run the extensions by the front of the case, and tuck the rest of the cables through the 24pin slot.

    Also try to pull the slack from but front (24pin) to the back side of the case.

    Just manage these cables and hide the black part. Get some zip ties and tie it up in the back

    Cable mod instead of stock ones would help massively

  13. Get a cable extension over the thick janky stock ones

    If you own a modular PSU then you’ll probably be able to find a custom 12VHPWR cable on moddly which will allow you to connect it directly to the GPU. That’s what I ended up doing anyway.

    Looks much better without the squid adapter.

    Why has everything soldered to the motherboard been redacted?

    Zip ties and pull them back into the case while holding the connected end so you don’t damage anything. The less cable you have visible the better.

    Maybe wrap some white athletic/medical tape around the black wires to make them match?

  18. You could tie little bows on them like Christmas presents.

    just do what i did, get the 12VP Cable from cable mod, you can see it on my page

    Nothing about the pcie cables but I would recommend reorienting your aio. Had mine set up that way, air bubbles get caught up top and your cooling capabilities are restricted. Just food for thought

    You don’t hate the ugliness…you EMBRACE the ugliness

    I am more concerned about the mobo and PSU wires not being the same colour as the case

    See if your power supply manufacture makes a pcie 5.0 atx 3.0 12vhpwr cable that is specifically designed to socket into the modular pcie outputs of the power supply. That’s what I did. I have a Corsair RM850x and got their 600 watt 12vhpwr cable that plugs directly into two pcie modular sockets on my power supply.

    ​

    I’m just want to make it clear that you should only do this if the 12vhpwr cable is made by your power supply manufacturer and it is specifically listed as being compatable with the exact power supply model that you have.

    Those are power cables, that are mislabeled pcie.

    They’re not pcie cables.

    Function over fashion. The need for aesthetics in your PC is a stupid internet trend.
