For the past hour and a half I have been working on doing some proper cable management in my computer. I'm using a fractal design define R4 and a KINGWIN ABT-850MM 850W ATX 12V v2.2 / EPS 12V v2.91 / SSI EPS 12V v2.92 SLI CrossFire Active PFC Power Supply. The CPU power cable cannot reach the CPU power header when it is routed around the back. Anyone got any tips, other than route it through the front?

Great, that means I either have to spend another hour rererouting my cabling or not use my computer for a few days...

 

If you mean by getting a cable extension, it shouldn't take you that long to put on. You just attach them to the end of your existing cable and plug the other end into the motherboard/wherever else the extension needs to go. It's not like changing out all the cables on a modular PSU.
