r/CableManagement

decided i didn't like the cables looped the way they were and got some adapters to clean it up a bit.

took me 4.5h to build that pc and figure out how to properly hide those sata to 2 pin connectors, but it was well worth it.
CPU:
ryzen 7 7800x3d
Motherboard:
MSI MPG x870e carbon wifi
ram:
g.skill 16gb flare X5 6000mt/s cl30
dummy ram:
corsair dominator titanium light enhancement
ssd:
WD black sn7100
cpu cooler:
Lian li hydroshift 2 lcd tl
gpu:
rx 9070 xt sapphire pulse
psu:
Lian li rs1200g
case:
corsair 4500x
fans:
Lian li tl120 wireless

When ram is cheaper again I will fill out all those ram slots with corsair titanium and when I got some budget again I will switch out my rx 9070 xt for a nvidia fe card since it has the same curve aesthetic as the case.

I’m sure there are more people out there than me with OCD that needs to have the perfect or near perfect bend on cables in the exposed chamber of the case. It bugged me from the beginning that the 24-pin and EPS12V cables weren’t aligned where they curved or bent.

The goal of this setup was not to impress others per se, but to express myself but also having what I need for productivity. I tried to blend authenticity with practicality. I know my setup is no where near objectively the best, but I’m not mad about it. Just wanted to share. I recently got the Tatu desk lamp and I love it.

No RGB, no extensions, no troubles!

I’ve been learning PC Building for about 6 months now. So what do you guys think?

I recently changed into this set up and i really liked it in terms of workability and comfortableness but I feel like the wirings can be cleaned down a bit better? Is there soemthing i need to buy to better the wiring a bit? (See second photo for close up) If i try to make the laptop side to side with the monitor, most of the connections are exposed since its on the left hand side which includes a type C, aux, charging pin, 2 usb slot, and HDMI. My monitor only has hdmi and power chord connection.

We had to manage the following cables+extensions: 2 x 8-pin EPS; 3 x 6-pin PCI-e; 3 x 8-pin PCI-e; 12VHPWR; 24-pin ATX; some fan and RGB cables.

One of the most challenging cable management projects I've ever done. What do you think?

For those of you who hyperventilate when you see me post a 10-plus-hour build that requires over 200 zip ties…

Here we have hook-and-loop heaven, achieved in a mere half-hour.

Currently just testing out the parts on a test bench before the final assembly. It's going to be used by him for local AI. The CPU, RAM, GPU, and storage are from an older Alienware I got for free, so I am passing a lot of those savings to the student-teacher since he is also a friend. My major is computer engineering for those wondering.

I also added some pictures of the DELL 3090 at the end, since I found a lot of information on the thermal pads was just straight up wrong. In the last image, I added some thermal putty under the black fram so the memory would get even better cooling.

Build -

CPU: i9 12900KF

GPU: DELL OEM 3090

RAM: 2x32GB DDR5 5200MT/s

MB: ASRock B760M PG Riptide

Cooling: Thermalright FC 140mm

Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, Crucial P310 2TB

Case: Antex Flux M F-LUX

I don't hate how I have it right now, but I would love some way to get a cleaner run for the 12VHPWR cable to the GPU. By cleaner, I mean a run that doesn't require the cable to "flip" in order to make the connection like this. There is just enough room to run the cable over the back of the card (case = Fractal North Mid) but it doesn't look very good. I'd much prefer a run from the bottom, like I have it now, but in such a way that the cable doesn't have to flip the way it does now. I've tried to capture the issue as best I can with the photos.

Any ideas?

Also included some bonus install/wiring pics - pretty happy with the finished product, although I'm awaiting some orange zip ties. 9800X3D alongside a 5070ti.

Hello, I’m helping my sister in-law hook up their sound system for the new build home. The builder ran a cat6 cable from the speakers in the wall to a basement utility room and that cable is hooked up to a Sonos amp. With that current set-up everything seems to be working. But they also spliced off a cat6 cable to potentially be hooked up to the tv and I was wondering the best way to do this? They have a Samsung frame pro tv with a wireless connect box. What is the best way to connect this cable to the box?IsThanks!

I opened my case for something, forgot how badly i just slammed the backplate in and all cables just "fell" out. So i decided to atleast try something, its my first ever custom pc and first ever time trying cable management, just wanted to share it here because why not! (Dont roast pls:D)

PC came in for a CPU swap and cooler upgrade…

But it damn sure wasn’t gonna leave looking like that, not on my watch!

Im building in a Thermaltake TR100

- Asrock Phantom Gaming Wifi

- Corsair SF1000

- 9070xt Taichi

- Thermaltake TH280 ARGB

Im not too good ar cable management, and this is my first time building in a smaller case and installing a AIO

Do you have any tips to tidy this up before I plug in the AIO?

Customer wanted his OG Strimers replaced with the new wireless ones. The cabling in the rear was so gnarly that the back panel was bulging, duct taped shut, and had broken a retention clip in the chassis.

The first picture is what literally spilled out when I cut the tape holding it shut. Last picture is everything I removed that was unnecessary in the first place.

I might have a problem…
