Nothing to comment bro ... u have adopted the most straight forward method ..

Spiral wrap ...

It's good if u find the spiral wrap in black rather than grey .....

There's also other type of plastic wrap selling at ACE Hardware or IKANO Power if not mistaken .. .

But so far .. excellent u have utilized the power of spiral wrap to the max ..

godlike ....

Haha, thanks fo the advice , . . . will go check out the hardware store then.

Simple and cheap way, by using only a cable tie


cable ties sure helps a lot

Nice one you got there. I am using the same casing as yours. Better than my cable management. NICE JOB!

Anyway, the ram you got there right, is it running on dual channel. I thought running dual channel must be same colour slot?

haha, thank you . . . lack of hardware so easier manage. The ram is dual channel, i also thought must be same colour but the mobo manual K9A2-CF say put in slot 1, 2 or 3, 4 for dual channel but it does run on dual now. Thanks for the concern though, haha.

here's my rig...
need advice from the expert

nice and clean....good job. if u can sleeve all the cable, would be nicer...

hihi..ya2..didn't sleeve yet...

Just redone my cable management today as i need to install a new CPU Cooler. Will try and upload some pictures later...

Tried a few other options to hide cables but seriously, cable management is tough..LOL..

hahah, u are giving preview arr ???

Faster post your rig dude ...

LOL...Not preview but my PC do not have any bluetooth connection. Need to transfer those pictures from my hpone to my PC

Anyway, here are the pictures. Still not perfect cable management but i do hope this is better than last time. Took in some advice of pros here and fix some of the issues i have last time..

Still, the problem with the 8pin power connector is there. Will try to source out a solution later...

Changes :

- Took out the fan grill
- Changed a new CPU Cooler
- Change the position of my DVD Burner to make it closer to my SATA ports
- Change the location of my PSU
- Route most of the cables to the back of the mobo plate


Any other comments are welcomed.

Mine..new setup...ATI concept,hot..hoho..

hehehe .. finally the long awaiting A10 is arrived with awesome setup ..

So far so good ... looks good ..

btw, can't u route the 8 pins mobo connector behind the side patent fan ..

I did mine last time by routing through the opening between the mobo and graphic card ... then straight up to the connector ..

not sure ur setup can do the same or not ...

Well, at first, i tried to route it between the side panel fan and graphic card. Boot up the system and found out that the side panel fan is actually clashing with the fan. The fan blades are actually touching the cable itself. Therefore, i route it the other way around, which looks really bad in picture.

I will try out your suggestion later when i have the time. Hopefully, the cable is long enough and it will make it look way better...

yah hopefully it's long enough loh ...

if not I really have no idea where u gonna get 8 pins extension..

probably two 4 pins extension could works as well ..

arrr ... !! I've nth to play around now .. everyday stick with the same setup ...

@akachester
erm yeah i did same like wat doom mention..since u using SS psu i think its long enuf to plug on top of the 8pin atx port..dunno if the dimension of A10 and TJ07 differ abit..but last time using zeus 600w i can route it along the mobo between gfx

routing it in the space between the mobo and the GFX is a real good idea....i do the same thing as well but for my fans la....

problem is...doing that will kinda kill the purpose of a removable mobo tray. imagine wanna remove the mobo tray have to unplug the 8pin then unscrew the GC just to get the cable out of the way so that u can remove the mobo tray. and the removable mobo tray is one of the reasons u chose the A10 instead of the V1000.

i say leave it the way it is temporarily until u get an extension. main purpose of cable management has always been airflow first and foremost. neatness second. and ur airflow looks fine to me

as for the extension, make the extension go all the way to the rom bays, then down the bays and into ur PSU's 8pin plug.

or you can use the same route as your mainboard power too , i did mine that way FYI...

What I did with my A10 last time is to use the extension ..

so whenever I wanted to remove the mobo with the tray I just disconnect it..

Still consider removable right

Hope he akachester could get the extension that fit nicely ..
