My first ever PC build (minus RAM). How do I improve cable management?

why is this board filled with such autism just put them behind the fucking back panel

I like to bind the motherboard power connector back on itself right by the plug, and maybe run it through that rounded guide on the back of the case. This keeps the cable nice and flat. Same thing with the cpu power connector. You can twist the cable before plugging them in to get them to lay against sides etc. Instead of binding all those front panel cables in the middle of the case, try to do that in the 5.25 bays, it looks cleaner. Use lots of zipties is my main rule.

Thanks man

why did you buy an itx board and an atx case?

daily reminder that cable management is a meme and does not improve airflow
the only value it has is aesthetics

Get a micro-ATX case for your micro-ATX board.

Pretty much this. But a case with messy cables is so unpleasant to look at. My very first machine I ever built had terrible cable management and had an issue where ever time you turned it off it turned back on. Once I redid the cables the issue went away

why did you do all of this BEFORE installing the RAM?

memeATX cases cost more than most mid-towers.
