Lol, point well taken. This is a new build in this case, now that ALL the components are in, I will take a crack at cable management. This is an FT01, not an FT02. Also, no windowed side panels, so no reason to really tidy up.

This FT01 has foam lined side panels. There is almost no space for cable management around the back. It is impossible to get the panel on if you have cables along the back side of the mobo. I have actually had the cables better managed than what you see but this is a new build in the FT01 and I knew I was getting a new GPU so I haven't addressed it yet. I just shoved it in there. Thermals are actually good.

The cables never seem to be long enough where I need them or are too long.

I'm probably going to transition to a new case with some built in cable management tools. I may migrate over to Fractal Torrent or a Lian Li dual chamber that ha some actual cable management tools. But yeah I feel ya. I'm an embarrassment to my hobby. I am telling you though, this particular case is a cable management nightmare. There is just no space behind the mobo for these big thick PSU cables.

My guitar pedalboard is also on my list of things that need serious cable management this year!

You also may consider getting either the Phanteks NV7 or NV9 PC case. The NV9 is a bigger case with a larger back spaced area to shove ALL you cables you need back there. Here's an amazing video that shows you a 7:45 minute video. I think you'd like it and it's very inexpensive to buy. I Phanteks would've configured the window on the other side, I would've purchased it. But that's okay. I was glad to be able to repurpose my existing case and I'm grateful and proud of the results.

Also, when it comes to the FAN NOISE, whenever you crank up the speed of those 180mm fans, they do get loud. Since they're so big and the way (my FT02 is configured with 3 x 180mm on the bottom), there's no need to crank them up. I just keep them at around 780rpm and they keep my system at ambient temps (around 27.5˚ - 29.5˚ C).

Again, if you need ANY HELP, please feel free to reach out to me here, and if I see an alert on my email, I'll reply as quickly as I am able. In the meantime, I'm going to try to find a video that someone put on YouTube a year ago of a SICK FT02 Custom Build that I thought looked amazing. I'm sure I'll find it and I'll post it here.

What do you think of Phanteks Evolv X?

If you like it, It'll work. Here's a link to watch a breakdown by Gamer Nexus. You've probably heard of this guy, he's great at exposing all the pros and cons in his reviews.

It's up to you though if you're looking for a standard basic PC case. I think the cost is the same though. I still like the NV7 better as it showcases everything clearly, if you build your system right. Of course you don't need to buy all the water-cooling stuff in the prior vid link I provided on the NV7 build. All you would need is an all in one Rad/Pump system to just connect to the CPU and you're off to the races.

I think the FT01 has met its match with the 5090. GPU temps are fine, but CPU temps too high with the Noctua D15G2 in game. The 180mm fans are just too loud to spin up. Need to move to an AIO to get some fresh air to cool CPU.

It could be my cable management but I doubt that would give me more than a few degrees.

Leaning toward the NV9.

I thought you made that decision already to go ahead and get the NV9, along with the Arctic Liquid Freezer for your CPU. That would be a perfect setup. But of course we'd loose you in this thread and you'd have to join the Phanteks NV9 thread (if there is one here on HF - LOL!).
 
That's going to be a nice build, once you can do it. I saw the Alta T1 and still would prefer the 90˚ motherboard setup that the FT02 has. I wish they would update the FT02 with the same 90˚ mobo design and the look NV7/NV9, but have the glass door on the Left side instead of the Right. But hey, I'm happy with what I have.
