Hello!
I'm about to build my first PC, and I have (through various sources) been informed that the 8 pin CPU cable on my PSU won't be long enough to reach my 8 pin mobo connector through the back of the case. I do not want to route the cable under my GPU, so I'd like to ask - what are the cons of using an extension cable for the 8 pin connector? I've read various post ranging from people saying it's completely fine to people saying that it's very bad and can melt, damaging the other components.
What's your opinion?
