Ziptie trick for hiding fan cables on a radiator

Swapped to a push-pull config on my 360mm rad and used small black zipties to route the fan wires along the frame edge. Looks cleaner than my last attempt where I just let them dangle near the GPU. Anyone else use zipties for cable management on a thick radiator setup?

Yeah, "keep things tidy" is the perfect way to put it. I started using those small zipties on my rad too, and it changed the whole look behind the glass panel. I actually clip the zipties flush with some flush cutters so they don't poke out and snag on anything. It makes the wires follow the frame so cleanly that you barely notice them unless you're really looking. The trick for me was running them in a straight line along the top edge and then a quick loop near the fan hub. Does it hold up okay when you're swapping fans in and out or do you have to redo the zipties every time?

Those black zipties really do make a big difference in keeping things tidy back there.
