Cables squish on MoBo?

[BenKavanagh]

So before i installed the 8pin power cable on my mobo i plugged it in through the mobo tray, and i didnt really see there was a hole above it that i could have routed it through. Now it is a bit squished between the mobo and mobo tray and is touching the back of the mobo. Is this bad/ will it damage my pc?

you should be fine unless it's putting some serious flex on your mobo

It's definitely not recommended, that's for sure.

 

It's hard to say if it's immediately dangerous or not, but I think the biggest concern would be either shorting out the motherboard from a damaged cable and/or putting unnecessary strain on your motherboard.

 

You might just want to do your due diligence in this case (ha, get it?) and fix your cable management with proper routing.

 

As @Cyracus said: Probably fine unless it's flexing your board, but still, what's 10 minutes of management for better peace of mind, unnecessary as it may turn out to be?

Thanks for the help! And i just realized that the cable wont even fot through the hole i thought it would and now that cables gonna be going across the whole case. Rip cable management

Just tap it and drill a hole. It needs one anyways. =p

Just be sure to file it.
