Hey everyone!
I've been working on a new build for the past few weeks, and I'm finally ready to share it. My primary goal for this build was absolute cable cleanliness. I spent hours planning, routing, and re-routing to achieve this result. I wanted a build that looked as good as it performed.
The Specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K
- CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero
- RAM: 64GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance RGB 6400MHz
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 Founders Edition
- Storage: 2TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe SSD + 4TB Crucial MX500 SSD
- PSU: Corsair RM1000e (2023)
- Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO
- Fans: 9x Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM
Cable Management Techniques:
I utilized a combination of strategies:
- PSU Cable Extensions: Custom sleeved extensions from CableMod for a cleaner look.
- Velcro Straps: Generous use of Velcro straps to bundle cables neatly.
- Case Fan Hub: All fan power and PWM signals go through a central hub.
- Under-Motherboard Tray Routing: The majority of PSU cables are hidden behind the motherboard tray.
- Zip Ties (Sparingly): Used only where necessary for very tight bends or securing individual cables.
- 3D Printed Cable Combs: Custom-designed and 3D printed combs to keep GPU power cables perfectly aligned.
Check out the photos below to see the result. I'm really happy with how it turned out!
