Routing of PCIe cables to Graphics

[ocmanus]

I'm wondering how people have routed the PCIe cables to their graphics card e.g. from the psu looped around the back of the case or directly from the psu to the graphics with ties to keep it tidy?

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this.

Personally I've routed the cables from the gfx card, to behind the motherboard tray & then down to the psu.

It's all down to personal preference, just route in the tidiest way (or which ever you think looks the best)

Back of motherboard and through a grommet close to the power connections on your gpu.

Below is an old build of mine to give you an idea.

That looks good. Did you pick up the extensions from ocuk?

One thing I always try and do is avoid having any cabling near the back of the CPU cut out.

I used to route direct from PSU to GPU but have recentlty started routing round the back of the motherboard as it looks a lot cleaner.

^^^ The red on the Gpu paint it green lol.

I route mine through the grommet above the gpu as i hate hanging cables.

Lol I was thinking about doing that, but checked with Asus re warranty and they were very adamant I would void it by painting anything lol.

I may plastidip it instead at some point.
