Vent: Spent 45 minutes routing a single fan cable under the GPU
Everyone swears by routing all cables behind the motherboard tray for a clean look, but I ran into a stubborn fan cable that kept getting pinched by the GPU bracket. I tried routing it under the card itself instead of behind the tray, and it took 45 minutes of trial and error to get it to sit flat without blocking airflow. Why does nobody talk about how much time you lose fidgeting with those tiny cable combs? Has anyone else found a trick for tight spaces near the PCIe slot?

Been there, man. Those tiny cables are a nightmare when they just won't sit right. I swear my last build took an extra hour just fighting with one stupid fan cable that kept popping out of place. A tip that kinda worked for me was using a zip tie to hold the cable flat against the case frame before sliding the GPU in, then snipping it after. It's still a pain but beats rerouting ten times.
