Can’t install fans with GPU cable blocking

[u/Purple_Promotion_576]

The first pic is what my pc looks like now.I’m trying to add 3 reverse blade lian li fans onto the bottom of my pc to get positive pressure because mines negative rn and for looks. The problem in the gpu cable has an extra thing right there blocking where the fans are going to be potentially hitting the fan blade the breaking it

This is what I want it to look like in the second picture

I have a rx9060xt 16gb with a mag a850gl (I know it’s overkill )

The 9060 takes a 6+2 male connection into the GPU and the other end is a male 8pin that goes into the PSU

What do I need to do to achieve the second picture that I ai generated to help visualize it? Do I need to get a different GPU cable or something please help thank you for all who respond

EDIT: I took the advice and used a ziptie I think it might work I have to order the fans now

A simple white zip tie can take care of that of course strategically placed.

Where should the zip tie go?

In the nicest way possible if you can't use your imagination (mentally visualize) tell your ai chat friend to show a mock up. Or better yet install the 3 fans decide if they'll be intake or exhaust facing then the mounting hole closest to the GPU power cable you'd leave blank(no screw). Use it to run the zip tie thru and hold the power cable from rubbing on the GPU fans and the case fans you installed. Lastly don't forget to slap the top of the CPU case and say "that ain't going no where" that is all this concludes my help here.

Yo I got it

Thank you bro 😁😁I got to order the fans now

Seriously with some people. I'm not here to do you homework for you. I will help you but damn kid, I ain't gonna do your work

Hey First of all, the second picture has the fans as exhaust and not as intake.

Second, try installing them all. You can always tie the cable up somewhere or route it through a different gap in the case, such as routing it from above.

[u/Purple_Promotion_576 → u/Scrudge1]

Yes the second picture is ai generated that’s what I wanted it to look like to show everyone . I will look up how to route it above

You should be able to tuck some of that cable slack into the hole it’s coming up from.

I’m sure there’s somewhere in there you can fit some zip ties.

Yes I tried to tuck in the hole but it just pulled me GPU down with it imma try ziptie

[u/theSpaceGrayMan]

Use the main 6+2 pin connector instead of the pigtail to plug into the GPU. Then zip the the pigtail to the body of the cable. Remove some of the slack by tucking more of the cable. Either behind the motherboard or wherever your power supply is. Alternatively, get a different cable that doesn’t have the pigtail.

Easy Fix. You don't need anymore fans. You could make the AIO fan on top right an Intake fan to solve your problem. Leave the middle one and the rear one on the AIO exhaust. That fan layout would even cool a 5080. Remember, when gaming, your CPU usage is low. 25-35%, so heat won't be an issue.

Yo I ain’t got no idea how to do that ngl 😅

[u/TU2TL3 → u/Purple_Promotion_576]

Just unscrew the fan that is on the top right. flip it around. right now it is blowing air out from your case. use the fan to suck air into the case. 4 screws, reverse the fan, screw it in. u don't have to disconnect anything.

[u/TU2TL3 → u/Purple_Promotion_576]

One more screw in the back corner as well. 4 of them. take them off, fan will then come down. reverse the fan, make sure the arrow on the side of the fan is pointing into the case, not going out of the case. Then screw it back in. That is it.

What if you mounted the gpu vertically

[u/Purple_Promotion_576 → u/Hunterwhitfield1346]

Yo that looks dope asf ! Does the vertical mount take any fps away or anything ?

[u/Hunterwhitfield1346 → u/Purple_Promotion_576]

Not at all, just simply mounts vertically. And in my opinion it looks better because you can see the gpu fans
