Tips for Xhuttle: How to Hide AIO Tubes Like a Custom Loop Pro

Modified on Thu, Jul 17 at 6:31 PM

Overview

Xhuttle is a dual-chamber chassis built for clean cable management and high-performance cooling. While many modders show off stunning cable-less water-cooled setups, did you know you can achieve a similar clean aesthetic using a regular AIO cooler — no custom loop needed?

Here’s a simple trick to visually hide your AIO tubes using only smart routing and component positioning.

Result: A Clean Look, No Modding Required

This method creates a minimalist, high-end look usually seen only in custom loops. With smart placement and Xhuttle’s dual-chamber design, everyone can build something visually stunning — with zero cable clutter in sight.

Build Trick: Route AIO Tubes Behind the GPU

Mount the AIO Radiator on the Rear Side Bracket	Attach your AIO radiator to the rear-side fan/radiator bracket of the Xhuttle. Make sure the tubes face upward toward the top of the case.
Loop Tubes Down From the Top	Guide the tubes from the top down, gently curving behind the motherboard tray and toward the CPU block. This ensures the tubes stay hidden from the main visual angles. Route the tubes from behind the GPU into the CPU pump block — all hidden from the front.
Use a Vertical GPU Bracket (Face-glass Orientation)	Mount your GPU vertically using an additional front-facing GPU bracket, with the fan side facing the glass panel. This showcases your GPU beautifully and creates a useful hidden cavity behind it for tubing. Important: Make sure there's enough gap between the GPU and motherboard tray to route the tubes comfortably.
