Use a large sleeve or at least cable ties to cinch them together and reduce the size.

Your SATA cable could be made alot shorter with a cable tie, same thing with most power cables. Also, instead of random routing like it seems to be, try to plug them "strategically" to minimize cable lenght.

Well for the last 2 hours i have been optimizing my cabling, I'm more then happy with the results and i believe it speaks for it's self.

Sorry about the unsteady hands i swear its genetic

And as you can see from these pics (below) their has been a big difference in Cpu temps on idle.

Before (above)

After

Just to let you know look at the power/Aux temp, This is because PcWizard 2007 doesnt support my motherboard and i only used PcWizard because it was the only pic i had of my Temps.
