Everything is wrong
not gonna lie, that cable managment looks like my first PC
I bet you secured the CPU cooler with all the fasteners though!
Money cant buy proper cable management
Goes to show, you can have all the money in the world and no common sense to google something.
For sure, this guy does so much wrong. I just cringe when I see that kind of cable management because it takes me back, the side of my first PC wouldn't even close correctly because of it.....
Single channel RAM and an anti-ESD bracelet that's not connected to anything among some of the things, amazing.
Also considering they're only mentioning Intel products I'm assuming the video's sponsored by a certain someone?
And in a case like that you can get decent looking management in like 5 minutes, it's not rocket science
I'll take it you don't know what airflow and dust are then?
Unless Corsair have changed up their radiator designs, did you just fucking screw the long screw through the entire rad, fins and all?
Um what? Of course it can. The more cluttered your case is the more it traps dust and messes with airflow in general. Sure the tangible program performance might not be big but the thermal performance can take a big hit by crappy cable management. Why wear your parts out faster when it takes an extra 15 minutes to route your cables?
Hey thanks for proving me right. Appreciate yah. <3
Someone pointed out the PSU orientation and oh god.
I mean I'm not gonna stand here and say cable management doesn't impact cooling performance (or loudness), but you've literally showed nothing. I hate to use LTT/NCIX as a reference, but they literally found no difference (as far as I recall) in temperatures between a neatly managed build and an unmanaged one. Testing methodology was definitely flawed, and they didn't say anything about fan speed - however fan speeds are adjusted as curves, not "when you hit 70C, stay there no matter the fan speed", so chances are they were about equal.
Does that mean you shouldn't manage your cables? No, there's no reason not to, but it's definitely not a night and day scenario. If you have some other, better source, I think we'd all appreciate seeing it.
Uuuhhh... Are cables not supposed to look like that inside the case?
Just asking for a friend haha
I have no idea. I wrote the writer a nicely worded email, but in all actuality, why would you embarrass yourself before so many people with your cluelessness, when he could've spent a couple of hours reading up on this instead of simply winging it.
As someone who's admittedly only ever replaced HDD's I'm pretty sure he just put the PSU in the wrong way. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Every time he put something in I thought the motherboard was going to snap. And who puts the processor in last? Aaaaaaa
GOTTA USE THE CPU INSTALLATION TOOL(????)
it is cause i paid for someone to do it for me.
I mean, even if it's an incredibly marginal amount of airflow, there's still the whole, "cable dropping into a fan somehow" angle and I'm sure you don't need much of an explanation as to why that's not a good thing. I'm not really going to argue the airflow angle anyway, it was really more of a small example of something that's important to think about. It's honestly not too big of a deal with water cooling for full case flow usually, and tbh, it's going to be largely dependent on case design, etc anyway. It's not an easy thing to prove or disprove, and I'm not going to go out and buy hundreds of PC cases, bunches of different cables for a variety of build configs, etc. The flawed testing methodology of LTT/NCIX is precisely why there isn't a definitive answer to the question of "how much" cable management effects airflow. The answer is somewhere between "marginal" and "moderate". And that largely depends on your case, layout, cables, etc. I have nothing to show in the same sense he has literally nothing to show, it's impossible to prove anything, but it's absolutely asinine to claim that cable management is 100% pointless at best and actively detrimental to your PC*.
Now the whole dust thing, I really shouldn't have to explain how his answer, "*And poor cable management probably prevents dust build up on your components, because they provide more surface area for the dust to settle." Is probably the most stupid thing in this thread sans the video in the OP.
If you seriously think that having MORE surface area in the path of airflow means less dust in the PC, then idk what to say but no amount of "sources" are going to convince you of anything because logic doesn't apply in your world.
Lol, I’m asking for sources because you’re talking out your fucking ass. I know the logic, I’m asking for actual numbers.

nice and tidy
I think his argument against yours is that positive air pressure helps move dust past your components like a wind tunnel.

"heatsinks actually come with a little bit of thermal paste already in a circle on them, but its usually not enough"
Holy fuck
AND THEN HE SQUEEZES OUT SO FUCKING MUCH PASTE OH MY GOD

I'm willing to bet that they needed the shoot done in under an hour or two, so the video maker, who seems pretty competent overall, was forced to cut corners and couldn't worry about things like cable management.
Likewise, he couldn't search up easy things like PSU orientation and how to apply thermal paste because that'd make it seem like he's wasting their time.
Pretty basic stuff, but when you're on a set with a bunch of people and your boss is looking at you you want to look like you know everything.
always make sure you install the cpu after the motherboard, ram, powersupply, and graphics card have been installed, so visibility and working space is properly limited.
I was under the impression you were supposed to lather the thermal paste on, not shoot ropes of cum on the CPU and expect things to be a-okay.
Btw "wireless" or cordless anti-static bracelets are total bullshit and dont' work. You need a physical copper connection to earth ground if you want to properly protect your components from your discharges.
Or ya' know just touch a metal bit of the case and don't rub your feat on the carpet like a doofus.
Idk, this one is a pretty big top contender. Not the original video but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
