Hey there everyone, I am just putting another PC together and I would appreciate if you guys could tell me if you think there is anything wrong in having the cables passing behind the motherboard "squeezed up" like this, I don't mind unscrewing the motherboard to manage them again but if there is nothing wrong with it Imma just leave it that way:

It's ok a long as the cables are not squeeze or pressed tightly between the board and the motherboard tray since the solder points can pierce the insulation if it's very tight.

Just gave it a deep look and they are considerably lose really, I can move it up and down without force so I don't think it'll be much of an issue, thanks for the quick reply WL ^^
