One of the fans went wonky and the wiring is a nightmare. RMA’d the unit, bought a bunch of black high-end 120mm fans, black d15 cooler, black (faster) RAM, and a 1000w PSU. The wiring is SO MUCH CLEANER in the back, the machine is completely silent, and no more wonky flashing fan. I can’t even tell when it’s on. I love it.
Hahaha my first couple computers were like that. I didn’t even care about airflow… look how your standard Dell or HP or whatever desktop is wired up.
After I started building for my friends as well, I started caring a lot more about aesthetics. With RGB, all of the fans have two or three wires instead of just one. It’s a nightmare. Now, my fully blacked out computer has only one visible wire—the GPU power connector cables. The massive CPU heatsink blocks off the rest of the already barely visible wires. I’m lucky though, because my case makes it extremely easy to hide them.
I did full RGB/water cooling (AIO)

Wiring? You mean you don’t just shove the components in there and make sure fans and airflow aren’t affected and go?
Am I the only one who doesn’t cable management at all?
