Hi im kinda new to pc building and built myself a mid range gaming rig with the board mentioned above, 2 questions, first being my triple fan asus rog rx 580 card lierally covers 3 of my 4 sata cable ports, a friend told me i need low profile sata cables and he said you need either 90 or 270 degree cables, from what i can see i need 270 cables but cant find anywhere that sells low profile 270s, will leave a picture of motherboard so you can decide what i need;

second problem is I have a corsair spec delta case with rgb fans and with gigabytes rgb fusion 2.0 I literally only can select block colours, no effects or multicolour options seems like the software is awful is there any other alternatives or have I done something wrong?

thanks, any help appreciated.

this is the standard length 500mm

examples only, not an endorsement, shop around, caveat emptor.

thanks for the reply, those are similar to the ones i found but if you take a look at the motherboard picture I think mine L the opposite way if you get what i mean, so think I need 270 degree cable rather than 90.
 
your motherboard has the clearance to run the thin cables around the ports and out to the edge.
where the FCC printing is will be the channel that the cables will be run to the bottom of the board where they can be run where you need.
the motherboard in my image does not have that handy channel for cable running.
as I said the best I could find, could not find the cable you are seeking.
but these will work, the flexible thin cable can be run to the bottom of the board.
