HUB HUBBUB

BEFORE WE INSTALL the fan/RGB hub that comes with the Corsair AIO, the pre-installed compact fan hub inside the 7000D needs to be unplugged and removed via the three screws that hold it in place. Our new hub won’t go in the same position; use the 3M sticky pads to secure it near the top of the remaining cable blanking plate, as shown. Once in position, plug in all the fan power and RGB cables, as well as the connector from the AIO pump. Use the Velcro strips and cable routing paths to organize these as best you can, as it’ll make your final cable management steps easier. One of the case fans will have a four-pin extender attached to its cable; you can remove this, as the new hub’s position doesn’t demand it, and it’ll just create more cable slack to worry about otherwise.
