200R - Trouble with 12V CPU connector

[JohnVentura]

Hello,

I am trying to make the cpu connector come from the top of my 200r instead of bottom, but it seems impossible to do so, as it has to pass a small gap between the outside of the case and the plate where the motherboard is attached to, but it won't fit in that space.
Has anyone had a smilliar problem with the case? If so, how did you solved it? It's just for the looks, but it is still bugging me.
I have a corsair cs650m as psu btw.

P.S: Press small gap to see the picture to which I am refering to.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried taking off the other panel?

You should be able to remove the case panel behind the motherboard for access to that space you're talking about.

Take off the back case panel , you should be able to make it work with the thin CPU cable.

No I haven't. I will try checking if that is possible, though top is riveted. Thanks!

Is it this case: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2012/11/15/corsair-carbide-200r-review/2

Because they've clearly been able to take the panel off.

The back panel should be removable , the 200R is known for decent cable management , so it has to come off.

Pics of the power supply routed from power supply behind the board with side panel removed.

I may just leave it like it is at the moment. I have sent my gpu to rma, normally the cables would be in place if the gpu was there. I was just trying to make it neat.

It does come off for cable management , multiple pics on the net showing it removed.

The top comes out, but it won't help solve the problem as the images on links posted above prove.

If your psu has a 4+4 pin connector, like my corsair cs650m, you just have to separate them into 2 4 pin connectors and then its easy to fit through the window!
