I just manage to finish my pc build (my first time) however, my cables are quite messy. I was just wondering if it would cause any issue because, I've read that it may obstruct the fan and decrease performance. Im not really bothered on how my pc looks, as long as it doesn't affect the performance.

So the main question is if the cables have any affect on performance and temperature?

Thanks
 


Watch this and you'll see how (really) BAD your cable management has to be to make an impact on you CPU and GPU temps.

Skip to 6:20 and watch for 2 min.
 

By all means, feel free to have as bad cable management as you want. While you are at it, go ahead and remove all those noisy fans. All they do is make noise and use power, so obviously, we don't need them.:pfff:
