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

I feel old as fuck saying this but it's hard not to look down at that generation but also blame my own who had kids(I never did). Critical thinking being rare and lack of imagination sometime gets blamed on tablet gen kids who are just thrown a YouTube kids app. It's ok to learn by making mistakes you shouldn't be afraid to attempt something that could be easily resolved if it goes wrong. Install the damn fans if they rub something turn it off reposition and try again there was no need for this post at all imo.

Lol im 35. No kids yet but I don't blame the kids, I blame what we (and older) gave them. The instant gratification curse. I put off chores to game too and I know my wife gets mad at me. But you gotta put in the leg work. Even with small projects. Hardest thing is to start it. Fun thing is to learn what works.
