Watched a coworker swap a power supply in 4 minutes flat and realized my cable management obsession was slowing me down

I used to spend 45 minutes zip tying every wire perfectly inside cases, but after seeing him just tuck the extras out of sight and close it up, I cut my build time by half and the system ran cooler somehow.

Wait @janarivera, didn't a buddy of mine do the same thing and his temps actually dropped 3 degrees?

Hold up though, that system running cooler might be coincidence or a fan curve change, not the lack of zip ties. Yeah, tidy is nice but air isn't getting blocked by a few loose cables.

Aren't loose cables basically little air dams though?
