I don’t think there’s really a solution to this, but I thought I’d ask the experts. There is no gap where the cables can fit, there are holes that the cables can go through but they aren’t long enough to reach. I think the only fix is to get extensions for the cables.

Would this cable extension be compatible with my RTX 3060ti founders edition?

Hello, the last time I cleaned my PC I ended up ruining my RGB controller cable for the Corsair Water cooler, does anyone have a sales link on Aliexpress for this same model? The model in question is the h100 rgb

First time build this is literally as much as the hd audio cable goes. Will this be damaged if left like this?

How can I hide the cables coming from the heat sink and its fans? I think i’ve done well with everything else, but I cannot get those cables to look good/hidden to a certain extent. Help🙏

Also please give any suggestions of anywhere else I can make the cables look better please.

Does anybody else use heat shrinking tubes to make the cable management look a bit tidier? I don't like those coloured cables in visible parts of my PC. It also makes these fragile cacle more resilient if you have to unplug/plug them a few times. This one is an internal USB cable.

This is only the tip of the iceberg...

I recently finished building a PC and used an EK Nucleus CR360 AIO water cooler. The cable for the water pump is the standard 3 wire flat PWM cable. On my motherboard the AIO header is below the CPU socket somewhat in the middle of the motherboard. Plugging it in directly leaves a lot of loose cable draped over the motherboard, ruining the clean aesthetics I've been meticulously working on. I was able to make the cable almost invisible by routing it around/through the VRM heatsink (routing path in image).

It goes around the pumphead mounting screw, into the heatsink, then out the other side. It is hardly contacting the heatsink as it goes behind it, then between the CPU power header and heatsink. It then goes through the heatsink again in the same way, 45 degrees towards the bottom right. This doesn't seem too bad but we are getting to the worst part. There was still a bit of extra slack, so as it goes down between the fins of the heatsink, I folded the cable into an N shape (Not overlapping vertically, but splaying out to the sides) before it finally exits right at the AIO header. There is a lot of contact with the heatsink here. This looks great as the cable is impossible to spot, but I have some concerns about safety and longevity.

From what I understand, the VRM heatsink shouldn't get hot enough to melt the cable insulation outright and cause a short. I'm looking for other opinions, am I wrong here? Will repeated heat/cool cycles cause the insulation to turn to dust in months/years? Also, in the top left corner, the cable goes around a decently sharp aluminum heatsink corner. Things are fine now, but is it possible that it could wear away? My understanding is that the motherboard shouldn't vibrate and wear the insulation, but is it possible that it will? I'm really looking for a sanity check here. This doesn't seem too terrible to me but the risk is PC fire, catastrophic short, or pump failure and CPU overheat so I want to be sure. All input is appreciated.
