Option C-modular power supply. B is a common trap, but liquid cooling often means extra tubes, not less cable mess.
Actually, I wouldn’t pick B here. Liquid cooling can help tidy up the CPU area but it still needs power cables and sometimes even has more tubes running around. C, modular power supply, is designed to eliminate unneeded internal cables completely. The other options don't really impact cable visibility inside the case. Pretty sure that's what they're looking for here, though let me know if I'm missing something.
I figured B, since liquid cooling usually has less visible cables than big air coolers.
Yeah, C fits best here. Modular power supplies let you leave out the cables you don't use, cutting down the clutter inside the case. I saw a really similar question on a practice test, so I'm confident but open to other views.
Not B, C. Modular power supply cuts down visible cables best for this scenario.
Probably C. Official study guides and practice exams flag modular PSUs as the go-to for cable management, so I'd stick with C here if you're reviewing for the real exam.
Man, CompTIA loves to toss in these gotcha options. It's C, modular power supply, since you can just plug in what you actually need and skip the cable spaghetti. Pretty sure that's the intent but wouldn't hate a debate.
C for sure, matches what the official guide says. Modular PSUs let you skip unused cables completely. Most practice tests point out C as well, so I’d stick with it unless someone’s got a different take.
C/B? Modular PSU (C) definitely helps you only connect what you need, so you avoid spaghetti cables everywhere. Liquid cooling (B) sometimes makes things look cleaner if it's a really neat AIO, but you still have pump power and fan wires to deal with. Pretty sure C is what they want here, let me know if I'm missing something.
Makes sense to me, C for sure.
