As illustrated in the image, my graphics card power cable has two connectors, but I’m using the last one since the first wouldn’t be long enough. Now I have a cable with the other plug hanging out in my setup, which looks a bit messy (the case isn’t fully finished yet but it’s functional). I was considering a Lian Li Strimer cable, though they’re not very affordable—though that’s not a major issue since I’m willing to invest in this build. They’re known for excellent cable organization, and I haven’t really dealt with RGB lighting before. Any suggestions on what to do? (Apologies for opening another topic after the first one.) The left side goes into the PSU power port, while the lower part fits into the back of my case. Edited April 14, 2022 by TGCLVA Added the picture

I don’t see any images, but you could simply use a standard PCI-E cable if you prefer the appearance of your existing connectors.

Sorry, just made it, it seems to have some issues but the explanation clarifies what you meant. My glass side is on the left.

Sure, just use a PCI-E cable with one connector at the end—it should work fine.

remains the issue that the cable draped over half of my setup looks quite unappealing.

You might bore a passage through the base of the enclosure and push it straight downward and outward, bringing it back inside behind the motherboard. Alternatively, you could make a hole on the rear and route it along the circuit board and exit from the back of the device.
