I just wanted to know if it is safe to put the power cable from behind of the case touching the motherboard with no risks of melting.
Here u can see it by ur self how it looks like , im using a Crosshair V Formula , i dont have Proccesor yet but i have turn it on without it just to see and well that heatsink for the mofsets seems to get really hot.

Should i just put the cable from the front of the PC or leave like that?

(Sorry i coulnt upload to another site)

Btw my plan is to OC in the future soo idk if that will make any difference..

The CPU would thermal throttle well before that backplate would ever reach a high enough temperature to melt the cable sleeve and insulator jackets of the wires.

That motherboard has a VRM temperature protection mechanism. If the VRMs begin to overheat the CPU will be throttled to reduce the temperature. The VRM Temperature Protection can be disabled in BIOS but it is definitely not recommended that you do that.
Well i was worrying because the cable lays exactly above the metal, ( or its like plastic idk ) that holds the heatsink of the mosfets as u can see in the 3rd picture and that thing gets hot.
(I also think if its plastic it would melt first lol but if they used it then it has to be some high quality material)
