The L12s is pretty good.
Or you can use custom cables from someone like dreambigbyray on Etsy. (They ship from China so they may take a little while to arrive, but they are pretty good) I'd recommend going with the silver plated (your choice of color) cables because they have less bulk then the sleeved cables. Custom lengths can be found on Nouvolo's site in the FAQ.

Thank you for your fast Reply! The Problem is that products from China really take a Long while until they arrive in Germany
Thats why i asked if anyone have experience with the stock cables :-)That is tempting, I'm from the Philippines and it'll ship quite fast here.
Anyone here using an MSI B450i motherboard and using custom cables? Will 22cm be enough?
I also measured 22cm at most..
I had a set of pslate cables made for the Steck with that motherboard. The 24 pin is curved but it is 15cm on the short side and 20cm on the long side so 22cm should work fine.
Ahh sorry I wasn't clear, I meant 22cm (220mm) for the EPS/SFX 12V 8PIN as indicated in Nouvolo website
Based on my pictures above, 12cm (120mm) for the 24pin is close enough without too much slack.
EDIT: Ordered custom cables from Ray with the following details:
customized corsair full modular psu cables sleeved silver plated cables MOD
old version sf600
1x 24pin - 120mm
1x CPU8P - 220mm
1x GPU8P - 230mm
1xsata 2headers - 160mm+20mm
unsleeved - white

Here is a picture of the cables installed. Both the EPS and PCI 6+2 are 265mm and like I said the 24 pin is 150mm on one side and 200mm on the other.
Suggest not to fold the cable behind the 24pin and PSU, it is bending the 24pin connector
The one connected to the motherboard? No biggie, I have since corrected that, just wasn't able to take a pic. These were from when I first started building on the case and thought I'd take pictures to document it.
Thanks!
I got my build together.... It was tight! Working on final cable management and one last rgb cable adapter.
I ordered some m3 screws and standoffs for my mod, I'm just trying them now and they don't fit. Can you please confirm, are the thumbscrews (that hold the glass to the side) m3? It's possible that Amazon sent me the wrong size since it's not listed on the package what size these are, but the threads on my "m3" screws and standoffs do not match the threads on the thumbscrews.
Damn I thought a 120mm AIO would fit at the bottom. I am still thinking if I would get a Big Shuriken 3 or an AIO for my 3600 (don't like tophats, so the only choice is a 645LT which is sold out I think)
Would love to use an L12s but my ram sticks are kinda tall (Trident Z)

TL;DR: 120mm aio does not fit, (unless you mod your case and possibly your aio, and even then it may not)
@Xaeons my case is modded and I don't have a stock aio. I have a custom radiator on an aio block/pump that I cut the tubes from, re-filled with pre-mixed fluid (not the stuff that it came with)and then re-sealed the aio. I'm not even sure how well it will work yet. In all honesty, with my luck, I just wasted ~$90 on my aio mod. Lol.
Also, I have to use standoffs for the panels since it won't fit due the the end tanks being too large for the case.

If that's the case, could I just buy a generic 92mm radiator, a pump block, 90 degree fittings, some tubing, and an a9x14?
I saw an Asetek 645LT in Overclockers UK and the cost of that + shipping to asia costs almost as much as a locally sold h100i or Kraken X52 (and if I'd go that route I'd have to buy a tophat)

A 92mm aio can fit. With minimal, maybe even no modding (PSU might need to be raised a little)
Edit: new 92mm mounting holes may be needed.

if you will be using AIO, I suggest do what @Poblopuablo did. Still cut-out the bottom (depends on you what the pattern will be, and yes, you need 92mm mounting holes as well for asetek 645). The current vent pattern is just to restrictive for airflow.
