Is it okay to have this fan power cord behind the GPU? It would not reach any other way, literally tried everything! Budgets already tight since I already paid sooo much for this PC! Will this wreck any component (GPU or cord)? I really don’t want to buy extension cable unless I have to.....F750DB6A-AD56-48C9-94E2-B11ED9142864.thumb.jpeg.c3113f12d8c7a45c39ac1a5cffbd0346.jpegFA3869F3-71CA-4BDB-9B21-6842F4179AAF.thumb.jpeg.3b917fa74a65fa83b68facef2218c5b8.jpeg

As others said it's fine, but are you sure there aren't other fan headers you can use? If your motherboard is a z390 Aorus Pro there are 6 total headers not including the CPU and CPU Optional, with 3 of them at the top. It might look cleaner if you used the bottom headers for your front fans and one of the top ones for whatever is currently going under the graphics card.
