hmm is it a must to sleeves the cables before managing them?

Not necessarily.



But i will look better with sleeved cables!

is it a modular psu?

The first picture I dont think so... If youre creative enough confirm can do nice cable management. Play around with your build first.

i am trying to stuff the cables to the back but i am afraid i will break the pin at the motherboard

What case u using?

cm storm scout 2

Oh with modular PSU? I think it should be easy. And u dont have to worry about breaking any cables.

Edited: I myself trying to figure out how to do it with bitfenix prodigy. Lol. Pecah otak.

i am using fsp hexa 500w

Well, if its NOT modular yeah u maybe facing some kind of difficulty to do cable management.
For me cable management is the hardest thing to achieve in a build...

Yeah , i spend hours on my cable management finally i did a quite changes in it , but still look crap compare to others
I took out all parts and re-assemble from the ground up because forget put the back small screw for mobo took me a while to assemble but when it come to managing cable , took me hours yet result is so so with a semi-modular psu.

Now waiting for my sleeved cable and see how it goes

My CM690II Advanced after doing cable management.

Still sucks as hell

try these

1-route the small cables behind the motherboard. The HD audio, Sata and the USB 2.0 can all fit there
2-Group together the USB3.0, 6-pin pci-e and 24-pin to come out from one grommet will look nicer

alternatively, get sleeved extensions for the 4-pin EPS, 6-pin Pci-e and 24-pin power and route those to the front instead of the Original cables from the PSU

Thanks bro ! Will redo it again

I Re-route the cable you mentioned just now , it's look much more better now !


Follow all your step , indeed it look much more better ! Will share some picture later


Really huge improvement !

Took me around 1 hour to re-route and figure how to hide the cable. Totally worth it !

Yeah... cable management can be a real pain in the arse but it's very satisfying after all the trouble.
I'm using cable extensions from topazzatech, here: cable extender and I got the sleeves from him as well, here: colortrail.
A problem with using cable extenders is that you will have to manage that extra cables in the back of your case. It'll be worst if you are using non-modular PSU as well. As my image here will show you... hahaha...


Then again, it is also the easiest way to make your case look tidy and clean! Just plan on how you want the front part to look like and then only worry how to manage the back. hahaha... XD

Not quite sure about guide on cable management but I learn a lot from watching sifu Lutro0 on cable sleeving. He is the Yoda of cable sleeving! hahaha... here: cable sleeving guides. You can also learn a lot from reading his guides here: sleeving F.A.Q
Hope this help...

thanks, bookmarked

Glad it worked out well had a CM690II last time and did the same tricks the last time

Lol your CM looks like mine bro, the back is a total mess... not that anyone could see it though 700W non-modular PSU have lotsa cables.. too many in fact lolz but I'm using the cable extensions from BitFenix, their Alchemy line is really good looking as well
