Oh god the cringe.

 

Does flipping the PSU with fan down do anything? (assuming you can). If not, you can probably get an extension cable off of e-bay

i see more problems here than just that cable..

 

that aside, you could buy an extension, or -if your case has the propper venting on the underside- you could put the power supply in fan side down, and route the cable behind your expansion slots to win just a slight bit of length.

 

EDIT: i just noticed that adapter on the pcie power plug, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, get a better power supply...

Had the same issue when I was building a rig to sell, ended up making a diy extension using other broken PSU's. not reccomended but will work. Also if your psu cant reach your mobo then thats enough of an indication to suggest it might blow up in your face.

Guys it doesnt even reach from back side or pc.. i know it looks baad.. its my fathers pc he plays diablo 3.. pc has 960.. its enough for him. The old psu he was using making weird noises so we started using this psu.. pc got very fast when we started using this psu. Ebay takes 40 days to arrive here.. so is there any ideas about the solution.. Or im gonna cut the damn cables of psu so my father can buy a new one (if something works.. father never replaces it)

DO NOT CUT THE CABLES, seriously that could lead to serious injury or death, and it will hurt the whole time you are dying.

So guys we just soldered every cable to a new cable.. (we cut the sata cables..(father doesnt use them)

and it works heres the pictures.. we soldered every cable and put electric tape to each one so they dont touch other cables.. so its safe.
