Is this okay?

A large group of wires from my power supply (ETX12V) is standing on my CPU Fan's heatsink (Noctua NH-C14).

There's no other way to lay it down... but is this perfectly fine? I am just thinking the heatsink is going to heat up and maybe burn down the wires??


Thanks
 
Solution
The heatsink should never be hot enough to burn wires but you should find a means to route the wires so that don't touch the heatsink or other components.
