The CORSAIR 9000D AIRFLOW PC case is a very large chassis. If you’re interested in good cable management within this case, there are some things to consider.
Are you planning to use multiple fans? If so, consider the CORSAIR iCUE LINK ecosystem. When paired with CORSAIR iCUE LINK fans, this system significantly reduces the number of cables inside your PC case. Both power and data are transmitted through a single interconnecting cable to an iCUE LINK Hub. Suppose you choose to use the iCUE LINK ecosystem. In that case, I recommend switching to an AIO liquid CPU cooler that is compatible with iCUE LINK, as this will further minimize cable clutter, resulting in increased airflow inside your build.
Does your video card (GPU) use a 16-pin 12VHPWR connector? If so, consider using a CORSAIR Power Supply (PSU), then upgrade your 12VHPWR connector to the 12V-2x6 connector. This choice will provide a cleaner look compared to the 'octopus cable' often bundled with high-end video cards for PSU connections. Reducing the number of cables in the motherboard area of your 9000D AIRFLOW PC case will improve airflow. Additionally, consider using cable combs to organize the GPU power connection and the ATX cable. Cable combs can help manage multi-wire cables effectively. Refer to the picture below for an example of the GPU connection and the use of cable combs.
Some people connect every single PSU cable available in the box to their power supply unit (PSU), but this isn't necessary. You should only connect the cables that are required to power your system, including the motherboard and any accessories. Using too many cables can create a tangled mess, making it more difficult to manage and work with your setup.
If you look at the picture below, you’ll see eight fans in the front of my 9000D PC case. Notice how streamlined the fans look with the minimum use of cables. This is the big advantage that iCue Link affords you.
The backside of the 9000D AIRFLOW PC case should have more than enough room to route your cables and keep them organized. The picture below shows the cables before I used cable ties to make things look better. As you can clearly see, there is plenty of room to place the cables
Now, it is time to start using some cable ties in the back of the 9000D. In the picture below, I have started this process:
I still need to add some more cable ties, but as you can see, the cables are slowly beginning to look better. Still, there is some work to do. A few more cable ties later, and now I can close the rear doors, as shown in the next picture.
If your cables are untangled and bundled together, the rear doors may not close properly or at all. The cables and iCUE LINK hubs are now well concealed. Using cable ties ensures that the rear doors can close effortlessly.
Here is the last picture showing my 9000D using the default iCUE RGB color default profile. 17 fans installed and 3 LS Aurora lighting strips.
I hope this information has been helpful.
