What will work with my

[chibanginpr]

I have had to reseat my AC7 Cooler a couple of times now. So these cheap little plastic clip ins dont make me feel safe and feel it will fall off anytime now. Im looking for a bolt thru kit that will work with this cooler. Any recommendations will be appreciated!

Oh and how the hell do people get such clean cases with cable management? I'm glad my box doesnt have a side window .. It looks like a jungle in there. The corsair 550vx has so many unused cables. Along with the other cables in use. There going all across the box. Im afraid its holding back some good airflow

If the holes are a little worn out, you are right in seeking a cooler that bolts on. I don't know of a bolt on kit for that cooler. You have to push hard and not be afraid to push hard on the pins. Also look at the bottom of the motherboard to see if it is seated correctly.

Choose from among the best if you need a new one:

I've read on other forums that people have used Thermalright bolt-through kits for their freezers. You might be able to create your own with the extremely careful use of screws, washers, and nuts. You just won't want to short out your board.

As for cable management, it takes some planning. Once, I cut a hole in my motherboard tray beside the psu so i could route unused cabling behind the tray. I've also used zip ties and unused drive bays when all else failed

Unused drive bays are the usual place to stuff extra cables. Use zip ties or tape; twist-ties are wire and during movement or just vibration over an extended time could conceivably (however unlikely) cut through insulation, causing a short.

Hmm .. I didnt want to resort to buying a whole new cooler. Its rather new i just had to mess with it to seat it better. It sits fine but I would've thought there would be an alternative in the way it seats. Soon I will buy a new cooler like the new Xigmatek, But for now Im hoping theres other seating options.

Thanks for the tips with cable management. Hopefully i can figure out something because this box looks tangled. It sits at good temps but im sure it can be better.

On some cases, you can take the right side panel off and put unused cables there.

Here's an extreme example of what you can do:
