r/CableManagement

Rate the cable management in the Lian Li O11D Mini V2 case, this is my first build.

Got inspired by this group…

Just finished the cable management on my Mac mini m4. How'd I do?? lol

I have a tv, Apple TV, ps5, Nintendo switch, a switch, and ethernet cables. How can I make this better, cleaner, with more hidden connections. Tyvm for any help.

Hello, I purchased a darkflash c280 case. The fans of the case come daisy chained. They connect to each other with a proprietary 4 pin connector system as you can see in the picture. There is no normal pwm connector to connect to the motherboard and this means My only option is to power them with a sata cable which makes them spin at full speed. Is there any way to connect those fans to the motherboard 4 pin socket? See attached images.

Thank you

Noctua just released a 120mm version of their Chromax.black series fans.

I was honored to be among the first to build using these.

Unlike usually in my builds this time there is almost no wood visible and this one has a bit of a race car spirit with a carbon fiber pattern, velocity stacks and a copper pipes that hides the fan wires for the RAM cooler.

The processor is cooled by the legendary NH-C12P SE14 with an updated NF-A14x25 Chromax.black fan. The case fans are 10x 120mm Chromax.black fans. The system is powered by a massive Seasonic Prime TX-1300 Titanium PSU.

GPU extension cable is from EZDIY-FAB

is there any tricks on how to make it more tight and clean looking?

This is my first build, the cables are such a distraction to me but I have no clue how to improve it

Hey everyone, I’m gonna attach pictures of my setup and wanted some advice on cable management and networking ideas.

Setup pic

On the right side of the room, I have my main PC setup and desk. On the left side, I have another desk with my printer on it, and next to that is my 55 inch OLED TV on a TV stand. I’m planning to put an Xbox 360 and PS3 there as well.

The issue is that I want everything wired through Ethernet, but my router is on the right side of the room near the PC setup. I really do not want to run an Ethernet cable straight across the floor because I don’t want to step on it or make the room look messy.

I do have a gigabit Ethernet switch already, I think it has around 4 to 5 ports. I was thinking about buying a 100 foot Ethernet cable and routing it around the room somehow instead of across the floor.

What would you guys recommend for:

1. Clean cable routing around the room.
2. Hiding long Ethernet runs.
3. Managing cables between the PC setup and TV setup.
4. Any good wall clips, raceways, or other solutions.
5. Whether I should just run one long Ethernet cable to the switch on the TV side.

Open to any setup improvement suggestions too.

The extra slack and unused cables are neatly bundled and tuck away in the bottom compartment.

I was tidying up my cable management last night while fitting a new 12V 2x6 cable for the GPU. Unfortunately my cable ties weren’t long enough I had to pay the local hardware store a visit this morning before I could finish up.

I moved the routing of the two 8pin cables to the left hand side and the supplementary Pcie power cable up and over the 24pin. I’m quite happy with how it turned out. I think it looks a bit cleaner, especially around the PSU. There are a few places I would like to be cleaner but I think I’m being hyper critical of my own work.

You have to use up the slack in this case because the PSU is mounted sideways so there is nowhere to hide any excess cables.

The last photo is of the previous cable management when I first built in the case.

I was installing one of those 12V 2x6 cables form Corsair that has a temp sensor and I decided to tidy up my cable management while I was at it.

As well as the two 8pin connectors at the top, my motherboard has a supplementary PCIe power connector at the bottom. I made the last minute decision to run the supplementary power cable up and over my 24pin cable.

I think it will look ok once it’s finished, but unfortunately my 2.5mm cable ties are too small and I only had three larger ones so It’s temporarily secured until I get some more tomorrow.

What do you think?

Will update once it’s all finished.

Took a while but it finally looks decent. Will upgrade to wireless mouse and keyboard whenever current ones break.

Thinking about getting monitor mounts. Would love one arm that could support all 3 screens but cant find any at a reasonable price that would supports this setup (27inch + 34 inch + 27 inch)
