OK, I had this related question.....my motherboard came with this UV Sleeves....is it OK to put them onto the wires ? I mean, is there a chance that they might melt or something in there ?

Also, my PSU came with these ties, to tie up the wires in the casing...the problem is that their material is like a rough cloth, like a carpet or those straps ....the question is, is it ok to use them in the casing, as they might generate some static charge if they rub against something...

Umm can u take a picture of the entire side. Its hard to give recomendations when u have sections and i cant see the overall picture.

As for now, you could concider hiding the cables to the left of that HD cage on the bottom. Goto a hardware store and get zip tie mounts. There cheap like 6.99 for 100. You basically stick them to the side and run a zip tie though them to keep your wires in check.

Also it helps to know What case u have as well

Also is that a SLI-DR?? it looks like a SLI-DR and not a expert, ive have both. You can use the cable sleeves but its going to be a PITA because u cant fit them over the molex head and shrink wrap it. U need to secure it tho somehow either with zip ties or something.

For now i say initially just get some zip tie mounts, and try to route your cables behind the HD. meaning to the left of the cage if u look from behind the case.

Also watch out. The SLI-DR has a cold boot bug problem sometimes. Thats why i replaced mine with the Expert series. You need to do a Full manual CMOS reset if u ever get cold bugged.

(i didnt know this could be fixed and i wanted the wider space on my expert so i just got an expert)

Google it for more info. But with DFI-Street down. ITs going to be HELLA HARD to get help on our board now.
