    honest question: does cable management matter for anything except looks? my PC sits under the desk with a solid side panel. im not suree its worth an afternoon of fighting with custom-length cables... but i keep seeing ppl say it improves airflow, is that true in a modern case? if tidy cables really help tepmeratures, Id do it... if its purely cosmetic, Id rather spend that afternoon playing games, convince me either way. what am i doing wrong??

    Does the mid-tower have tie-down points behind the tray?

    yeahhh plan teh route before plugging antyhing in. install teh PSU cables u need first, route them thorugh the grommets, and only then mount teh motherboard if ur case allows it.

    lol same thing happened to me check that the back side panel closes without pressure on the cables. A bulging panel can stress connectors over time. fingers crossed 🤞

    been there man velcro straps beat zip ties because u can redo them without cutting. leave a little slack near connecotrs sooo they arent under tension.

    The 24-pin is teh hardest cable to tame. Fold it gently along the grommet and secure it behind the tray right next to the cutout. good luck man!
