- See if you can get that cable (USB3?) running in front of the graphics card taped to the roof of the case then down and through the grommet. Use something like black duct tape and it will be pretty invisible.
- Use that duct tape to cover up the yellow wires on the PCI-Express cables.
- Tuck the AC'97 audio connector behind the PSU if you can, under that bottom PCI slot if you cant.
- Whats that cable running across the RAM?
- Get the CPU fan cable tight with as much...

- Get the CPU fan cable tight with as much as possible hidden under the heatsink.
- unplug all the USB/front IO/Audio cables and run them so they don't twine through the power cables. Looks a bit haphazard.

Going to do the usb cable to the roof right now! thanks. I think the cord your talking about isn't actually on the ram, its well in front, that is the fan controller for the cpu heatsink? Going to tuck that audio cord behind the psu aswell, thanks again lol. will update once i have the connectors all running behind the motherboard, before i do that, do i just slide them behind the motherbord cutout so they drop down? is that safe?

I can see the CPU fan cable, but there is another in front of the RAM more to the bottom right of it.
Cant tell what it is, it ends in what almost looks like a SATA connector.
Its not recommended to run cables in between the mobo and mobo tray, the spiky bits on the back of the mobo can gradually wear through cables to bare metal, then promptly short out on them.

Well i wont be doing that then lol. And the USB 3.0 cord is JUST short of reaching with it being taped to the roof. I have tried every way possible, saw linus on youtube tape it straight down the guts of the motherboard lol, but i wont be doing that. So i guess im pretty much stuck with the way i have everything atm. It's not great, but it should be ok yeah?
EDIT: and yeah, that black cable is a speed controller thing for the spinq vt heatsink/ fan, looks like its dangling on the bottom right of the ram in the pic.

Linus is a god of cable management, no idea how he did it so neat on the cable management video. Even the back of the case was neat.
As I said before, functionally its fine. The cables don't obstruct airflow and are mostly out of the way. Its just aesthetics from this point on.
Also if I am not mistaken, thats an AsRock Z77 Extreme4/3?
Why are you running the USB3 cable outside the case to connect with the back I/O, there should be a USB3 header on the motherboard somewhere.

42, though we dont know the Question.
Should be called something akin to "USB3 internal adapter".
