So I bought a Captain 240 water cooler and it just about fits my Define R4 (the radiator is smaller than the opening on the top of the case, nbd). The issue is with the motherboard. The radiator won't fit with the motherboard 8-pin plugged in. I measured the clearance with the radiator installed, and there is maybe 17mm from flush with the connector and the fan.

Basically I'm asking: is there a low profile 8-pin eps connector I can use to fit, or am I SOL? My computer has been sitting disassembled for a few weeks now, and I looked only a couple of times for something. I might need to make something, which is a little scary because you know... Electricity.

Would the following cable work?

It seems to be the right height, but I can't recall the configuration of the pins for the 8-pin motherboard power.
