hey Tom, how could i make them look better? Where would you reroute them to?
Thx for your reply! :)
 
Sweet setup, cables could be tidied and routed up the rear of the desk or hidden out the way by taping to the back / underside of it.
 
Agreed, looks really good but some attention to the cooler cables would make it even better. Im not going to judge because I dont have the patience to do proper cable management. But yeah, looks good mate!

You can re-route the cables to flow around your heat sinks and also use the H100i bracket and feed the cables under and around, simple and effective TTL does this all the time in his builds. ;)

Thx for that Wraithguard! will try that tomorrow and upload and updated picture! Thanks for the advice guys! :)
 
Now that looks sharp! :) ... Awesome little cable management to make it overall look cleaner :)

Although, I'd personally contact Corsair Customer Service and get a new mounting bracket and paint that one red. Would go really well with the rest of the build ;)

Once you've set the lighting and fan profule just take it out :)

Nice one, didn't know that myself :)

That's actually quite a sick idea you just mentioned there :D
Though I've never done any modding before and i wouldn't know with what to paint it with lol :D
Matte red would be cool though, it would complement the red from the heat sink really good i think :)
Something to take into consideration! :)

dont suppose you know what desk that is exactly? moving out soon and the mrs wants a desk for the pc so she can play games without having to sit on the floor using the TV like I do as she doesn't find it comfortable.

Looked it up for you, it's from Ikea and called "Malm". I also just recently changed desks so it's still available and afaik Ikea has the same product range all across the world so you should be able to find it :)

Neither did I mate. I actually got the idea from Feronix (so cred to him for it) and I just bought a can of blue Plastidip and then painted the bracket I got from their support. And this is the result:
