I didn't think they made a block for that card.

pics required!No I have a powercolor reference card that had the blower style fan. Now it's got the Morpheus II cooler with 2 120mm fans strapped to it. It's just a big sandwich of metal and fans

Haha ok when we get back from the Fireworks I'll take some.

Send an email to alphacool about it, they said at the time (couple of months ago) they would re-release the M02 block in 6-8 weeks but crickets so far ... should be due any time now. Mine is basically an early version of their block that had to be modified to actually fit on the card.

nah, if the side panel is hiding most of them it's fine, my ocd would kill me though!!Yeah might look into it. It's not that bad is it

You know when the PC was being built I was super happy with the cable management at first. Then I started installing the drives and yeah, it all went to ****nah, if the side panel is hiding most of them it's fine, my ocd would kill me though!!

An advice...
Turn the HDDs to the rear and connect them from the back. That way all cables will go out and from behind to the bottom. It helps to use SATA extensions here also shall you wish (around £2.5-3 each).
@Thekwango perfectly understand
Soldato
Huh I never thought of that. I'll give it a go cheers.
Soldato
haha yea, I get twitchy now and again just knowing the back panel of my case behind the motherboard is a birds nest of cables, I pop it open every month or so just to see if can tidy them up a bit more - I always close it back up disappointed!

Me too, though I'm leaning heavily towards custom cable solutions. The stock cables with products are often just inadequate.Perfectly understand. Having 25 years ongoing war with cable management

Wasn't happy with the look of the stock cables myself so just made my own ATX and PCIe cables (same length as the stock cables, but that works for my set up). Still need to more custom cables and/or better lengths for SATA power, fans, lighting etc, but it's getting there. It's a shame that SATA cables are impossible to do custom though, they are really never the right length for what we need.

Can be done, but they are a pain to do manually and costly to buy in

Imho straight SATA are better since you aren't restricted otherwise and extensions are cheaper.
Also there are aleways plastic covers to hide cabling.
