Hey all,
Silly question here, but I have a bit of a problem (or maybe it is not a problem at all if it can stay like this), so bear with me, I am somewhat of a new builder
I tried putting the fan controller directly to the back of the motherboard tray, but it is a little bit thicker and the side panel had some trouble closing (case is Thermaltake H100 TG, nothing fancy). The next best solution considering the length of the fan cables was to tuck it in front of the cables as seen here, though I had to cut the zip-tie which was holding it because it served no purpose, hence the controller is basically "floating" in the air and leaning on some cables (it is pretty light-weight, so there should be no issues). The only "problem" with this option is that the 24-pin cable and USB 3.2 Gen 1 header cable had to go underneath through the lowest cutout, and not the one next to the mobo plugs for them, so the cable management had to suffer a little bit - this can be seen here. Ignore the GPU by the way, it is only temporary, and sorry for the quality of the photos, I had to take them in a rush at that moment.
My question is should I leave the controller like this and continue with the life for now? Or if anyone has any other suggestion considering the whole cable management inside - feel free to let me know, it is highly appreciated
