Cable Cramping - Managment - A Concern?

Hi, I recently just finished building my first PC.

I bought a NZXT tempest EVO that I can manage cables with.

The cables were a bit bunched up in the center, and I closed the back case cover with a

with some use of force.

Right now the back cover is bulging,a good amount of power cables are definitely cramped in

there.

Should I be concerned with wire heat issues, and redo the wiring?

Thanks in advance!
 
No your not going to have any heat problems... if you can live with the bulge you can leave it. I would tidy it up cuz im ocd like that.
 
cable management is more related to tiddying-up your work space than thermal issues. i would assume damaging a cable due to twisting and "some use of force" are more likely to affect your setup than heat.
 
IMO, depending on the size and cable routing features of your case, since most mid tower gaming cases now a
days have some holes for cable routing for the purpose of efficient cooling and good looks, you wont have much
of an issue as far as cable routing is concerned. Though the time cable management will matter is when you
plan to install multiple video cards and multiple 5.25' bay components and 3 or more hard drives. Still, as
compared to older model of gaming cases 5 to 6 years before, its much easier to setup wires and cables now
even if your case is a mid tower one.

- As for the tight and cramped wires tucked behind the case, be sure not to tightly bend wires to prevent the bends
from heating, since that's the main cause of wire burns on cramped setups. No matter how cramped your wires
as long as its tucked properly with no very tight V or U bends, your system will run fine no matter how long you use it. :)
