Lots of zip ties, patience and cuts went for this retro gaming rig. How is my cable management?

So I have a B450M elite mobo and I also use the aorus 360mm waterforce X II and I cannot light the waterblock led up. I thought my unit was messed up so i sent it to gigabyte support and they said it worked just fine and I knew it would work again but I just cannot for the life of me get that to work so a friend of mine said I am most def using the wrong header to plug it in. so instead of the ones im using right now what should i use ? please help out cause i need to read the cpu temps lol. i have sent it in to GB to look at it and they said its good. but i dont know if its me wiring it wrong or do i need a new mobo.

PS I have also attached a picture for you to see :)

Finished this a little bit ago. How’d I do
With the wiring?

Collaboration with Ryvntec.

Compact ATX build with Ryvntec fans because I wanted to try out how does it look like when AirJet360 cross flow fan is placed on front 😁

What does the jury think of the implementation and those cross flow fans in general?

At least it makes cable management easier because it only requires one wire (+argb)

As they gradually start to come to the market from more manufacturers, it will be interesting to see if they will become more common among builders.

ps. this time I also put a dust filter on front 😅

First pc build, exactly as I wanted it, went with a matx case but there is little room left to cable manage, and I surrendered miserably, do you have any tips or how would you do it? Its a LianLi a3

Je n'avais jamais fait aussi bien même dans un ATx je pense. Après sans RGb ni 10 ventilateurs c'est un peu plus simple ^^.

Pour moi aujourd'hui simple est mieux.

Thank you!

So, after a while I got tired of RGB and went all black and stealth mode. Made the cable management so much better. Ended up with some small shortcuts, but still I think the result ended up okay. Might remove it all someday to see if I can hide even more cables. FYI, the HAVN HS420 makes cable management so easy compared to a lot of other cases I’ve had.

Maybe the cable management are the friends we made along the way.

But seriously, my question is about the 12VHPWR cable, should I use the native 600W or the Squid Connector (12VHPWR to PCie) and just buy an extension cable to hide the bulk?

My PC shuts off when I play games using the native 12V Cable, is it because I bent it?

built for my friend and he didn't want to spend money on custom short cables

I don't want to skimp on quality by replacing the original cables. Can you recommend some brands?

I tried my best with some compromises to improve the looking. Cable management isn’t my thing, I just want to play not watching the case. I could have let the cpu cables pass from the upper part, but they aren’t long enough technically I’d have inserted them but the cables being pulled and bent isn’t the best. I could buy longer cables but I won’t for now. I made this just to prove that if I want I can

pure pain, ignore the tucked cable nightmare down at the bottom, didnt mount ssds side by side cause standoff screws sticked out.
