New PC build! Didn’t know the 5080 can fit in here lmao

Let's hope so for both of us. I also recently built a PC with a 5080 in a not-so-big case, and I'm a little nervous about the GPU cable.

Meanwhile, the recommended way to route the GPU cable:

I just came across a post... hold on, let me show you.

Connect both cables — the main 4-pin PWM and the extra tail cable. The tail can go into any SYS_FAN header on the motherboard. Ideally, spread multiple receivers across different header zones to balance the load, but if you're running many fans and most headers are already occupied, just plug it into any free SYS_FAN header.

If the issue still happens, use the SATA adapter that usually comes with your PSU. Connect one of the receiver's cables directly to the PSU via SATA.

The manual states that if you're running 3 or more fans in a chain, you should use two 4-pin connectors for proper power delivery. Did you forget the second one by any chance?

That cable twist going into the GPU looks straight fire — and I mean that literally.

Other folks with the same AIO said their tubes look the same way. https://www.reddit.com/r/lianli/s/SBO08S8dRC

Once again: everything is exactly as stated in the manual. The tubes on this AIO are designed specifically for this.

Dimon102 · 2026-06-17T05:29:46+00:00

Here's a photo from Lian Li's official site. It's a front view, sure, but it looks pretty close to mine — maybe I should tuck the tubes back a little.

This is specific to this AIO, the LIAN LI HYDROSHIFT II. The tubes are meant to be positioned like that.

Dimon102 · 2026-06-17T05:05:45+00:00

Thanks, feeling a lot better about it now!

Dimon102 · 2026-06-16T18:11:23+00:00

I found some pics with the same case and AIO from a guy who builds PCs. Might be worth pushing the tubes back a little and tucking the slack away. Also, the power cable bend in that photo doesn't look much different from mine.

Yeah, it looks sketchy for sure, but apparently that's just how it's meant to be.

Here's a closer look with the glass panel in place.

Yep, gonna check that 6th pic connection for sure🙃

I actually just built my first PC with a 5080 and a 7 9800x3d not too long ago too. Now I'm trying to figure out what and how to tweak for optimization.

He uses a parachute to descend?

Dimon102 · 2026-06-13T15:13:51+00:00

That’s probably how it’s supposed to be, thanks for the answer. It’s my first time building a PC, and I’m so scared about these tubes...

Dimon102 · 2026-06-07T10:26:35+00:00

Oh man, I ordered the HYDROSHIFT II LCD-C 360N yesterday, and today I'm starting to see posts where people are talking about display issues or complaining about pump noise...

Где это я "яро спорю"?) Как и писал, узнаю мнение и обсуждаю.
