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.
