- This video could save your life! Alright, more than likely not. BUT it could save your PC's life! Alright, more than likely not. BUT it could make sliding the rear panel on THAT MUCH EASIER, eh? How about that? Here's what I do when I cable manage PC builds.

So many people care about cable management. When their bedrooms rooms look like a Syrian war zone 😂😂😂
Ashish Patel I wonder how many people with blood smeared on their walls and debris everywhere care about cable management.
Cable management is one of the toughest (if not, the toughest) parts of a build.
It sure makes it look amazing if done right.
it depends on the case actually
Omar Maestro yeah, on my cooler master masterbox 5, i was able to tuck some of my cards in a small crevice at the bottom of the case
+1 on this, trust me, watercooling can be a really big pain in the ass. But it's also fun, so kind of love hate relationship
Besides OCing (stability tests take time and are tedious)
everyone talks about the importance of cable management, but very few teach you how to cable manage. I've been building for years, and I could never get it right. You're the best, Greg
- I ran a poll on Twitter in regards to the next video topic, and 'cable management' was the top pick! I'll be uploading the X99 RGB build video tomorrow.
Salazar Studio what happened to the Kraken AIO? It looked amazing.
In a different PC.
Salazar Studio which one? I though it was in this one
Got an amazon link for that screws kit?
Concerning custom cable extensions, would you go through the same process with hiding the PSU cables, This is my first custom PC build and I'm using a fully modular PSU in the NZXT s340 razer case. I have not recieved my PSU in the mail yet but it is an Rm850x from corsair. Sorr if this whole statement sounds stupid but I am not very familiar with PC building yet and if any of my info is confusing ill try to respond and clear it up
It still looked better at the start, without any cables at all ;-;
Too bad my PSU is non modular and my case sucks with cable management...(Inwin mana134)
Damn! That cpu cooler looks great! Noctua fans HATE HIM!
Samuel Dureka Yeah, Cryorig make damn sexy fans😍
Samuel Dureka Check Scythe Ninja 4
Samuel Dureka noctua fan's colors are ugly.

Samuel Dureka i know
I'm in the process of building my first PC and this video couldn't have come at a better time. Really love your stuff man keep it up!
Thanks for watching, Daniel!
I rmemeber when you first built a PC for this channel.. nostalgic at how far you've come over the years...good luck in 2017 :D
I have watched a lot of builds, but no one has every gave detailed advice on this kind of cable management before. Thank you so much! I will keep all of this in mind when I dive into my very first build!
Well done, and beautiful rig.
Happy new year thanks for all your hard work hope next year gets bigger for you and give your family a hug from me
Your video quality is unmatched. Crazy
Dude you are like the best you tuber to watch to learn about this stuff. Really great, you get to the point, and provide information that is actually useful. I came from you video where you built an Intel pc and amd on pcpartpicker. New sub!
*Currently writing this while laying under my desk routing cables for my triple monitor setup*
My cable management on the back is fairly bad but it's what I would call organized chaos lol. It's more or less too many cables for that space but I made it work, and the side you look looks neater. The cables coming out of the psu are a bit messy but flow together nicely, blue sleeved cables for my blue themed build :D
My 24 pin power has the neatest looking configuration, have combs that stayed intact holding it neatly
Excellent job. I have a full tower case, a huge one to be exact, and my cable management is pretty crappy. I will take it completely apart soon to clean it and then I will attempt to fix my issues with cables :)
looks pretty dang clean!
Thanks for the tips will use them!
I use reusable zip ties to cable manage. Remember to leave slack for changes or additions in the future if you go that route.
Velcro tie downs are the best IMO
Goddamit, I love you

My PC is looking amazing now.Can't thank you enough for the tip where you use the smaller wires first then work your way up.I could actually make my cables look sweet and its not even a modular power supply.Only thing i have to do now is paint the rainbow motherboard power,CPU power and GPU power and it looks sweet!
You have a passion for Cabele Management ,.. As much as I . I will be shooting a video of my cable management as well In the future.
This computer looks so great my god
All good, excellent wire management skills!
rly good! this thing is the one in the build that tooks most of the time if u want it nice.
Im working on selecting parts for a PC with an exact case like that. Thanks for the video :)
Keep up the good work Greg ! :D
I have THE SAME ocean wrap-around in my room! Never seen it anywhere else before hahah. Anyway, great video.
I like how you use a case that is specifically for cable management. Any chance you can take out your handicap for doing cable management on an average PC case?
Greg you also need to do one with a 100% NON modular PSU
This helps especially since I just bought a new PSU
The S340 is such a great case for not being too overly big and still allowing for such tidy builds.
Meanwhile here I have to cable manage... In a slim case Mini-ITX. Got a Silverstone RVZ02B (you retweeted it even, Greg, thanks for that!) and I already picked a modular SFX PSU, not SFX-L, to hopefully make it a bit easier, but man... It's hard in this case...
Hey Greg! 2022 here and I think your current work is even better! Can you please remake this video?!? 🙏
Kinda wish I would have gotten the elite... I got the normal s340 a few days ago for my first build just because I didn't like black part on the glass panel on the white case but now it's not bothering me as much and I really like how yours looks lol
Nicley timed video Greg! About to do my cable managment on my Phanteks Enthoo pro M arcylic case, I'll tweet you my results
My favorite case.... Absolutely love it. I did the top of the shroud in Carbon Fiber. Just finished cutting 4 piece of diamond plate, all of which will be sprayed Satin Black. One to wrap around the Optical bay. A new rear wall for mounting SSD's to hide all the factory holes for their rack system. A simple piece to sit behind the PSU opening, and last a fancy piece which is cut around the phanteks case badge and showing a 1/4" of the carbon fiber. It's all about layers and textures. I custom sleeved all my power and Sata cables. Just ordered corsair aoi cooler. I have to cut and bend some more metal to fabricate a vertical mount for the graphics card. I have 6 strips of RGB LED's which I have wired and sleeved, all will run to a controller and remote. 6 strips for even case lighting. I also have a small strip of white LED's for rear I/O lighting, with an external switch. The case is awesome for cable management, lot's room, especially in the basement.
I just built my friend a pc and was able to make her cables so nice and everything fit easily. Then I redid all my cabled because I got a new psu and even though I tried so hard and tied everything down with zip ties, I still needed someone to help me force the panel on. being able to stuff cables under the drives is so useful and my case can't really do that so all the extra cables are in the side
Dope cable management.
Great idea to put the psu in last, not seen that before. Might rip mine out and start again...
If u put the wires on the motherboard, are u able to disconnect them to organize the cables and put them back on without the motherboard messing up?
cool stuff. makes me want to take my build apart just to do that, butttt then again- I never see that side. At least until I buy a few more SSDs, might take a shot at it then.
I have the Fractal Design R5 which is great for cable management but got a semi-modular power supply so its kind of messy and I didn't get cablemod cables but meh. Looks ok to me
Nice vid! Keep it up!
Is that an HDMI cable tucked into the right side? Whats that all about?
I am using a Masterbox 5 (black), with an MSI Z170 SLI Plus (black), and a Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 (black). Pretty much everything is black. What do you guys think about me getting white power and sata cables? Would it look good?
That PSU is over kill imo. I like the build. 👍🏾
Nice vid. Many people struggle with cables
Did your case come with extra-long front panel I/O header connectors (i.e., power, power LED, reset, HDD LED, etc.)? If not, where do you get your extensions? All I can find online are 9-pin USB motherboard header extension cables. I ordered a bunch of 1-pin female-to-male dupont (yes, all lowercase) cables from China on eBay an an attempt to jury rig it -- did I make a mistake?
may I know this pc's full config? specially the ram and mobo model coz i wanna build a white themed pc.
I wanna get a semi modular PSU just for this. I did my cables pretty much as well as I can, but I've got bunches of sata cables and molex just kind of curled at the bottom >.> It's weird, when I first did PC building I didn't care about it. But once you've grown attached, it's like an art.. And you just wanna have it look pretty to represent the time and care you put into it :p
For one this dosent help I don’t have this case and I can’t find a video on TH-cam of my case for cable management so what do I do ??
How did you manage the HDMI port on the front panel?
wich connection did you need?
ive never built a PC nor do i intend to but i still watch your vids becuz quality
Is there enough space for all the cables from the non-modular Corsair VS650 psu to fit in the S340 Elite? I'm thinking about buying the case but idk if I need to get a modular psu aswell or if this one will do :/
I tried so hard to get cables out of the way. You would be proud of me Greg. :')
I feel like my cable management in my most recent build is acceptable. Just my case is kinda fucked when it comes to hiding SATA cables, they're just on the bottom resting. I don't have any shrouds, so I gotta make with what I got.
would you recommend the C1 over the H7 for the 6700k with an overclock? notice your rocking one there and I need to upgrade my C7
Pretty helpful. I just got my s340 elite in black and red, looks real sweet. Too bad the case came with a frozen power button. By the way, where did you buy those pants? They look real comfortable.
my h440 case has almost no space left, the side panel even pops out and can never be fully attached on due to this
How did you route the gpu power cable in the front
the Deepcool Teseract case is terrible for cable management, and I just shuved the extra cables in the drive bays
Very nice! I'm curious your thoughts on a purchase a made a few moments ago, while I can still cancel the order, lol. I have a i5 6500 and 1060 6GB for gaming, very happy with the performance but I want some RGB and cable management in my life. So I just ordered a white NZXT S340 Elite, white NZXT 550W bronze rated modular PSU, a Kraken X42, and I'm thinking about getting Corsair HD120 case fans. Good buy?
Thomas Rosoff Sounds like it'll look great. The kraken in particular is awesome
I just installed 3 new case fans, a gtx 1060 and a new PSU to my prebuilt (Obviously, I'm new to the whole PC building thing). The cables were the last thing I thought about when installing them, and most of them ended up tucked messily away next to the PSU. The rest were tucked behind the back panel, which is now bulging out because the cables are so thick. I have no idea what to do, but I dont think it's hurting my performance(?). I think the problem is that my case is too thin, because the motherboard power cable (I think?) is even too thick on its own for the case to close properly. Do you think it's worth buying a new case, or is the slight bulge fine (It's like 3/16 of an inch thick).
my mile-long psu cables are just lying at the bottom of my Define S, what else can i do with them :(
New question, is a Modular PSU worth it?
Jec I'd say so, given that you have extra money to spend on the PSU. You would have a much easier time managing cables, and your PC would look neater. And if your PSU ever breaks, you only need to switch out the actual power supply and keep the cables which is pretty convenient.
yeah it's worth it.
In my experience, most quality PSUs are either fully or semi modular. First and foremost, don't skimp on the power supply. Read up and find one that gets good reviews from reputable sources that fits your budget; chances are the PSU is gonna be at least semi modular.
Jec Absolutely, I have custom sleeved cables on my fully modular power supply and that means I don't have a bunch of extra cables I don't need in the back of my case.
If you swap the PSU for an identical one, I can't see why not. but if you go for a different power supply you'll have problems. Potentially killing components like salazar did not too long ago.
If cable management is your thing, then take these tips which any enthusiast will all agree upon;
1) Get custom cables for your preferred form factor size.
2) Pay attention to where mechanical and solid drive are located. The closer they are, the less likely you'll need multiple sata power cables. Multiple orientations are better. Drive bays that can hold
multiple sized components are best
3) Avoid zip ties. Use Velcro you've cut to size. Eventually you'll have access a singular cable at some stage.
4) Pay a little more for modular cases and P.S.U. Detach anything you don't need currently.
5) Pay attention to fan cable length. Nothing ruins your day more than discovering one fan cable is 3cm too short to reach the hub.
6) Avoid using any cable that has a right angle header on it.
7) Pay a little more for a mobo that has multiple headers around its edge, rather in its center.
8) Install from the mobo tray up and connect as you go. Nothing will frustrate you more than mounting your c.p.u monster fan and realizing you didn't connect your 8 pin and now you cant reach it.
Seems like a lot of excess stuffed in the back, what is it? Some of it looks like Molex, could that have been minimized by Molex to SATA adapters? Or vice versa for that matter.
Cable management is a piece of cake with a modular psu and a good case. Let's see you go to work on a non modular psu and a not so friendly cable management case.
Dunno if anyone has mentioned this before, but your new logo in the corner is a Finnish symbol found on some of their naval flags. Anyway love the channel, keep it up.
Can anyone telll me what cpu air cooler does he use?
I have an evga 600 watt bronze power supply and the cables that connect to it don't come off and there extra cables (an extra pci e cable for example) hanging around and I can't really fix my cable management
Honeyocto that's because you've got a non modular psu
I find it so hard to manage cables in my NZXT S340. Plus im using most of the cables from my EVGA Supernova G2. Side panel two thumbscrews are not tightening anymore is there anyway to fix that?
you could try shrinking your cable's volume by putting them into one or several spiral hose(s). Of course only the ones, that you most likely won't have to touch anytime soon
love that CPU cooler! What model is it?
Nice video today Greg
Thanks for watching!
I hate doing cable management so much, as much as I am an advocate of it, I'm gonna be keeping the same PSU cables and case from now on. My cable management looks great and I'm not messing with it.
i'm using the corsair 460x case and its so tight for a regular tower case, for rgb there so much extra cables i have to force the back panel on you can see a big bump in the middle
cross my fingers that wont happen
its all organised just no where to go i got 2 ssd in the back and 1 hdd next to the psu, the space in that case is really tight, im waiting for a bigger version to come out, also which doesn't help is that purchased cable mod extension cables instead of proper set which adds to the hassle
how dare you acknowledge the unseen side of the case! I worked so hard to make the window panel side look great, so by the time I got to working on the back side I was so anxious to actually use it that I just kinda stuffed all the cables in any spot they'd go. I use the Corsair Carbide Air 540 and proper management would most likely be quite simple, I just don't know if it's worth the effort. This video has def got me thinking it just might be though...
Dude! I really regret buying the case I have right now because it just doesn't have enough space at the back for proper cable management. Also the ATX_12V connector on my PSU is too short. I had to route it around the motherboard and still had a tough time putting it in! :(
Please someone tell me how to do cable management in prebuilt systems... Just opening the case makes my OCD go crazy
did you do a review of the hue+
Why not try to do a video using a case that has moderate or bad cable management? Even some higher end cases are difficult to manage a lot of cables in. (Inwin 303, 805)
303 was a nightmare. ATX boards basically scrape the bottom of the case, so if your SATA ports are on the bottom like mine, you're out of luck for 'pretty' routing. Thankfully my second card hides them, but I'm not looking forward to trying to get two slim fans to fit, gonna have to get real crafty.
Stewart Higgins I have the 303 also, and if your only USB 3 header is at the bottom you're also out of luck
Nice video dude :)
I must be missing something, but shouldn't the front 2 fans be set as intake and not exhaust? Cuz I see the one in the back is set as exhaust aswell and I didn't see an intake... lmao sry
I explain this in the next video. They're AER fans. LEDs only face one way.
Salazar Studio cheers
**pushes up glasses**
ACTYALLY, Luke proved that all cable management really does is make your computer look pretty.
#RealComputersHaveMessyCables
But he did so in a PC case, where it's near impossible to suffocate airflow, because it has ventilation holes everywhere and is very big and roomy inside. Do the same test in a cheap budget or a small ATX or ITX case that only has ventilation through the front and the back, and you'd probably get very different results.
LRM12o8 *_ACTYALLY_** intensifies*
Fireclaw Studios sorry, what does that mean, Actyally intrensifies? I'm not a native speaker, nor am I on urban dictonary that often, so I don't understand...
LRM12o8 "Actyally" is the the phonetic way that people associate know-it-alls with pronouncing the word "actually". Just think of the most stereotypical nerd voice, and imagine how it'd say "actually".
As for the "intensifies" part, it's just meme-speak.
Fireclaw Studios OK, thanks. But I still don't fully understand. So you were telling me your comment was sarcastic, is that right?
Pretty Nice Job
Cool vid fam
Good job but if you could make a video with a budget friendly case, like antec GX505 or something then it would make a lot of sense than working with a case that has excellent cable management options built-in. Thanks.
What if you don't have a hue plus
the c1 is so nice
Does anyone have a 3 PC setup so I can get tips on cable management?
Can anyone recommend a good CPU/Mobo combo for around £700? Gotta factor in the price of a supremacy evo too
Thank you! :)
yaaaaas! I was waiting for this video!
thank you for this video greg!
dont say yas
I made my look nice in the front, but its all messed up in the back where you tuck it in lol
lol did you switch your aio nzxt kraken ?
What cpu fan is that?
Some more footage of the inside when done, would be great. Otherwise awesome work!
i have a SSD crammed in the back panned of my Be Quiet dark base pro lol not secured
Man every time I see your rig in this case it's growing on me. S340 huh...hmmm :P
S340 Elite* about $40 AUD more.
If you're thinking about it, check out the Phanteks P400s Tempered Glass, it looks awesome and has RGB lights.
Um, forgive my ignorance on this even though I have been building PCs for literal years, but now that I'm into building more high performance stuff, one thing is bugging me...
What do you guys do with the extra PSU connectors on the cable lines? I'm talking the Molexes, the floppy connectors, and basically all the other extraneous crap on the drive power runs. I don't need Molex connectors or a floppy connector or 30 SATA plugs (not really 30 of them but there are enough of them to be a royal pain), honest.
Forgot to add something... Right now I'm collecting parts for the new build, but my old one is kind of a mess. It's in an Apevia X-QPack2 case with a Corsair CX-750 modular PSU. I'm running everything I need to (motherboard 24 pin and CPU connectors, one DVD-RW drive, and one HDD), and the remaining PSU cabling is stuffed under the DVD drive and looks like crud if you look at it just right (top and sides of the case have windows)... This same PSU will be going into the new build and I'm trying to avoid the rat's nest of unneccesary wires. The rest of the wiring in the case is as neat as I could get it (never having done so before), but the PSU wiring is a rat's nest.
