So I upgraded my case recently for a number of reasons. I took careful consideration of the case that I would purchase... I ended up going with a Corsair 220t and absolutely love it but I have a problem. The specifications say that the max length for the PSU is 180mm so I assumed it should be a...

My motherboard covers the cutout for 8pin CPU connector cable in my cabinet. So I am left with two options either to route it over graphics card or under the graphics card. I decided to route it under the graphics card for better cable management and looks but I wanted to know if it will cause...
