its going to cover most of the cable grommets.

 

Here you can see picture all those grommets would covered if i did buy a E-atx board. I also think the 12v rail is too short. Reasons i consider upgrade. No native w10 drivers. I got some crashes in gta. New features.

What would you do? If does cable grommets gets covered it make cable management a lot harder.

What?

 

The 12V rail isn't a physical component, it can't be "too short"

You might also be able to buy an extender for the cable that you think might be too short. Which cable do you think isn't long enough?

That's a Core X9?

You can get extension cables, I use 24 pin, 8 pin and PCIE extension cables, X9 is pretty big lol

 

Have a look at my build log in my sig, It may give you some ideas on how to route cables, I only use one of the grommets:

Yeah, they sell extender cables for them.

I'm not sure where you would buy them from, you being in Norway, but just search "24 pin ATX extension cable" and you should get something.
