Ok so i built my system 3 weeks ago and i just ordered a new heatsink to replace the stock. I just looked into the case and saw how bad my wire job was. I was wondering if you guys have any advice for me because I want my airflow to be a bit better.

This should be no problem.. You just need to tie rap everything into a bundle and use some wire holders that stick to the case (i am a electrican and i call them sticky backs) to hold everything in a nice neat place. then roll unused power supply cables up at bottom of case again using tie raps.

I must say, the annoying thing about this psu, is that on a single cable you got like 5 connectors, which takes up a fair bit of space themselfs

move it all behind the mobo tray... take advantage of any holes going there.

You can use hot glue as a means to hold wires.

Take your time.

Here is mine... I think I did a fair job
