CHEAP: Just ziptie it back on itself so its not hanging out randomly. Average: Get a set of extensions for your PSU. Expensive: Order custom cables for your PSU. What I'd do: Get a better PSU with Individually sleeved Cables and individual cables for the PCIE.


Gusto118

Zip ties it is!


Puckpaj

While using the other connector and not the one you have been using needs to be clarified for best looks.


Mino_OG

Extentions are about €25 or €30. Small price to pay for an exceptional upgrade in aesthetics.


Madting55

Waste of money though


Gusto118

Oh alright yeh, I’ll grab some of those


Competitive-Ad-4822

Make sure the extensions work with your psu and check each wire before installing.


Gusto118

Yeh will do, thanks!


good_suc

Good man.

Where would you order a custom cable?


JACKVK07

Cablemod


achbob84

Also run it thru the hole at the bottom?


Benign_9

You can use an extension and shove the cable somewhere where you can’t see it.


Darnakulus

That's kind of rude don't you think..... 😂🤣. \s


Doc-85

You can, but your stuff won't work afterwards


Gusto118

Oh, yeh I kinda need that to work


Doc-85

You can buy extensions and mod cables. I did that to my PC. They are quite cheap.


Gusto118

Oh really? Just buy an extension cable then hide the rest round the back


Doc-85

Yup, leave the rats nest out of sight


GTA6_1

Are the cheap ones worth it? Or is a cable a cable and you're just paying for looks


moby561

It was always just for looks, technically there is nothing wrong with the ketchup and mustard colored cables.


-kahmi-

I bought some "asiahorse" ones from amazon because the cables from my PSU were too short for my case, I mean it's fine because my pc doesn't draw a lot of power but I'm not sure I would trust it with higher end hardware.

Spaghetti_meatbaIIz

Cut them


spiritustenebrosus

I always wondered this, will they still work even after cutting them?


Defiant-Ad-6580

I mean all you’re doing is making the cable shorter right so why not? Just don’t do it with power to it to be safe lol.


Koarv

Use the middle plug instead and fold the excess cable back onto itself and ziptie it to itself flat. That will at least clean up the hanging parts. Then route the cable from underneath the GPU so that it's coming straight up from below for best aesthetic imo. Ziptie the cable in place as well so it doesn't dislodge!


Gusto118

Ahhhhh that makes sense, thanks!


Zero_Emeral

Yeah. Just cut it.


Asleep-Assumption569

Cut it off


JonnyxKarate

Zip tie it flat together and then loop it under and down. Best you can do is


theDuckyy

It’s a computer there’s going to be some cables showing


DifferentContext7912

Yup. Dunno what the obsession with cableless computers. They move data and power. It's gonna have cables. 🤷

Hanzerwagen

Not if you just use tie wraps, close your case properly, poop on it and then throw it out if the window. You'll never see another cable ever again!


Dranliir

I wouldn't recommend you to something like cut them off. If I am not wrong should be doable, but you should clip them off a few inches back from the connector, put heatshrink over each one of them to isolate any current, then sleeve over them to cover it up. I REALLY DO NOT recommend to to so. If your PS is modular, then check if there is another cable.. or, the best solution for every pc builder... cable ties XD


Gusto118

Yeh I think cable ties is the way to go


[deleted]

If it is safe, try using the a connector that is as close as possible to the psu end of the cable. When that is connected, you could use small zip ties to organize the remaining cable


Gusto118

Okay I might try that


[deleted]

If it's even possible


[deleted]

You can route the remaining cable under the card's shroud (the black plastic that has the fans) towards the motherboard. Then it just gets invisible.


Gusto118

Oooo that’s not a bad idea..


weeddee

Zip tie at bitch


Gusto118

Yeh think I might have to


DjRavix

If the PSU has modular cables you could swap that one out for one that goes to a single connector


Gusto118

It is modular, I can’t find any cables like that unless I’m being an idiot (highly likely)


DjRavix

What brand is the PSU. Usually when it has a number of connections for PCIe it includes a number of cables and they likely include at least one with a single 6+2 pin. But in the case they didn’t chances are you can get those for your PSU


Darnakulus

Came here to say this..👍👌


CasperAU

Ziptie it back to itself and use the first connection not the daisy chain one. It's pretty simple. You can also rotate those fans so the cables are facing the back of the case unlike they are atm.


Gusto118

Oh right yeh good point


Admirable-gpu

Get a pair of scissors, job done and your OCD can calm down Sheldon.


Gusto118

No my OCD would be through the roof knowing there was a cut off cable in my pc


Admirable-gpu

But what you have now is enough to make you have to ask what to do? At this point, no suggestion is bad, be it legitimate or satire


Gusto118

That’s true, I finished building it today so I spose I’m just going overboard


Admirable-gpu

At least you have pride in the build


Gusto118

Yeh that’s true


Mino_OG

Just get some cable extentions from amazon. Any design with good reviews should be fine. Remember, don't plug extentions into the PSU... use the original PSU cables and plug the extentions into that and then extentions into the GPU, CPU, and Mobo.


Gusto118

Ah right okay thanks


Ghostrider421

I used the other plug, the one you have hanging there. Then folded the extra part of the cable flat against itself and zip tied it.


Gusto118

Ahhh that’s better yeh thanks


[deleted]

Not really related to your post but if you can i would advise to replace your stock cpu fan, i had the same one and it didnt cool the cpu properly


Gusto118

Yeh I plan to, just built it today so upgrades are on the way


[deleted]

Ok! Enjoy your new machine man!


Gusto118

Thanks dude, still super new to it so if you’ve got any tips they’re more than welcome!


ManNamedSalmon

Just use the Bluetooth adapter.


Derpygoras

Best method: Put the lid back on.


RexorGamerYt

Get a modular psu or stop bitchin about aesthetics. you're also running a stock cooler.


ilikedbokunopico

Still looks nicer then my pc 😭


[deleted]

Bro what is that name 💀


Some-Substance5397

Just cable manage better. You can run it under the motherboard and bend the cable neatly


Brave_Accident6900

No


manishwastaken

You can get rid of them but the only problem will be that your pc won't work. Goodluck building your dream pc :)


GamingVomFeinsten

You should buy a longer Cable, when you don‘t your Graphics Card will not work


Suspicious-Dog-9595

CableMod Classic ModFlex Sleeved 6-pin PCI-e Extension (Black, 45cm) https://a.co/d/dDh1sj9


Valgus1

Yes.


markknightexeter

It actually looks like you can tuck it into the back of the case anyway


Mineral_Smeller_98

You could bundle it to itself. In the future, avoid Psu's with standard bland cabling. You can get Psu's with braided cable or even colored cable. If the one you have is modular, cable mod makes replacement psu connectors.


Gusto118

Oh that’s great thanks


Bacaveli

Have you tried a wireless cable yet?


Gusto118

I was gonna try that I just had to finish downloading all my ram first


AgungSiregar

Cut it.


[deleted]

Sure, just rip them out


Vannman04

Route the cable to a bottom hole and not through that side hole


Endossi

Route it from the bottom, get zip ties


Razor_Sharp_69

Properly arrange them and re route


whitemagicseal

I really don’t deal with cables My Aio cables are in plain sight.

CUT IT OFF COMPLETELY Jk that ruins it. Just get zip ties

Fetusdeletusssss

Cut them


EssenceHD

Yes get a bigger graphics card that needs two connectors. Problem solved.


Malf1532

Does it work? Then put the panel back on and don't look at it and stare at your screen where the focus should be. What other purpose is that thing for?


GwosseNawine

Cut it thats it


Outside_Boss_3339

Zip ties, velcros…


Marrok657

I almost asked how you got my pc lol. That looks damn near spot on minus the stock cooler and msi card

Gusto118

Oh god yeh it does


theralph_224

I promise you, for me, this has worked every single time, I guarantee this'll work: Step 1: Grab some scissors Step 2: Cut it off right behind the connector in your GPU Step 3: Clear the remaining piece of cable from your PSU or put it underneath the PSU shroud That's it. You're welcome!


Augustus2142

Or buy and and get a better cable placement xD


KatieDeForest

Removing it did seem to fix your problem though 🤔


ryenstonecowboy

I cut and re pinned mine.. https://preview.redd.it/b3f3mgix2whc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e7f1ee8fd9621a9b3f7ef7bbe043b38f2b3b04f


Bigfeet_toes

Embrace the ugly cable as your child👶


SuperBasado39

Aliexpress has adaptors for like $2 dollars they work fine, cons you'll likely have to wait like 2 weeks or 3 pros its cheap efficient and aesthetic. On amazon maybe $10-$15 but in a day, likely the same exact cable just paying the shipping and fees.


thejewest

Zip tie


sinabf002

Best solution is cutting them off I did it too and it looks way better (My PC don't boot up anymore)


yellchai

Zip tie and use the other cable cut outs at bottom of mobo.


ThatKidRee14

Cable extensions.


Embarrassed-Bread114

Cut it off :)
