Are you ready to push your cable management skills to the limit?

Actually not a bad idea. I would definitely like to get one.

I would prefer to have nice curve on my cables, rather than massive bulge of cheep black plastic. If motherboard supports 90 degree connectors ok. But this is not the solution.

I can feel your excitement.

"Are you ready to push your cable management skills to the limit?" what skill? this thing does it for you haha.

On a serious note, i do like the idea but it does look a little bit on the cheap side.

I'm trying to think of how to make the thing not look cheap... RGB perhaps? Hmm... then it would look tacky...

If it was a bit more plain i.e no branding, I'd pick up the premium one.

It defeats the point of having braided cables. Instead of nice curve to show off your expensive 24-pin cable you get big plastic thing, and 2 cm of cable that is on an angle, and disappearing. And if you don't have fancy cables i don't see a point why would you bother at all with this. I would rather see USB 3 90 degree adapter. That cable is true pain.

So agree with this.

Completely agree Dice, the branding puts me off.

Also, if you had a really high end Titanium PSU for example would you still benefit from the capacitors?

I also MASSIVELY agree with this

CM need a new logo really. It's very dated. Mate just got a 700p and first mod he is doing is getting a badge to cover the monstrosity on it.

It think that big black block is perfect of modifications. Just a simple repaint would make a build better looking (if done right).

There have been cheapo versions of these on eBay for a while now. And they don't stick out from the mobo connector as far, either...

I needed one to turn my ATX connector underneath an NH-D15 fan .

 

[AlienALX]

I was going to get one but they didn't hurry up enough and I finished my rig before they got them to market. The chances of me taking my rig apart now? about 0%.

I've been wanting to try resoldering the 24 Pin and 8 pin connectors on the back of the board. Would need a special set of cables to make it work, but would make the board looks upper clean

Trust me, you don't want it. I have it by default on my RoG Max IX and its such a PITA. Cable training is horrible. It doesnt line up with any case grommets for one.

Well I made and placed my own grommets.. But yeah, they don't look all that. Much better to have a board that has it as a feature (EVGA). I don't mind the small loop of wires too much either. I think it would look too sterile in there otherwise.

This is mine, the connector is centred between all 4 grommets. It looked ugly from any one of them. The 1000D, TT Tower900, Cosmos 700p, and Corsair 540 ALL have the same problem.

 

[AlienALX]

I blame the case, sorry dude. They are all like that. P*ssed off centre and right on the side of awkward.

It makes you wonder if case makers actually bother to buy any boards when they are designing their cases. Or, whether they just guess it. I will say though that I have never seen an ATX connector that high on a board (where they have put the hole) ever. Not one.

This would be great for my cabling problems =)
