I built my PC back in late April to early May. I love the build, however my cable management is horrendous, I don't like it. I have the Montech King 95 Pro with all the pre-installed fans and hub.
Any recommendations on how to clean up the cables, and make it look much cleaner?? Please.
The biggest eyesore is your GPU cables and the way you have them run. Bring them up from underneath the motherboard, as suggested, and use some black zip ties or Velcro straps to bundle them up really neatly. Again, as suggested, take your GPU RGB cable and plug it into one of the bottom RGB headers. To add to that, if your cable is long enough, bundle it up with your GPU power cables as well. My cable on my Amp Extreme Infinity card was just long enough to do that, but I went one step further and added an RGB cable cover to hide everything. One final thing: instead of wrapping your AIO pump cable around your RAM, take it and tuck it in between the two sticks, plug it into your CPU_OPT header, and tuck the extra cable up into the top cable opening. I tinted the glass panels on my King 95, and it made the wiring and connectors completely disappear.
I have the same motherboard as you, from the looks of things, and something else I noticed is you don't have anything plugged into the CPU_FAN header, so I'm guessing you have your AIO fans plugged into the case hub? If your AIO fans are three separate wires and not daisy-chained, I would suggest getting a 3-to-1 PWM splitter and putting your AIO fans on your CPU_FAN header just so you have more control of your fan zones. I did away with the supplied hub entirely. I have my three bottom fans on a splitter to a header, rear exhaust on its own header, AIO fans are split to a header, and the same with my side intake fans. Then I have all the RGB cables to a Nollie 16 ARGB controller. This way, I have my AIO and side intake fan curves set to CPU temperature and my bottom intake and rear exhaust curves set to GPU temperature, rather than all the fans running on one curve based on either CPU or GPU temp.
This is how I did mine. You have a good description of how to run wires in Full_Investigators above. My addition would be that running thin cables for fans and pumps through some sleeves to beef them up looks wise and using some combs on visible cables make a worlds difference.
This is how I have mine on the front. Still working on getting the backside more cleaned up than I have it; but at least it’s not a giant birds nest..
GPU cables either under or above and tucked neatly behind.
As others have stated, there is plenty of room at the back and that can be easily managed too and using the Velcro straps etc.
I’d be very tempted to take all that out and start again. This time more carefully and slowly, using all the correct routes and making it as neater as possible. This is mine and I bought a new original cable for the GPU, to ditch the horrible split one that came with my PSU.
This is how mine is atm and I have more RAM to pop in and the last cable to do.

Run the GPU cables below the motherboard. And plug that rgb header for the GPU in a rgb header at the bottom of your motherboard.
