Ive got an the psu in the title plus a p5q pro mobo, ninja heatsink and an antec 300 case.
The psu sits at the bottom and on the pq5 the 8pin connector sits at the top above the cpu. The ninja hovers over it a bit. The 8pin cord from the psu is barely longenough to make it over the graphics card and around the ninja.
Im wondering can i extend this cord?
How dangerous is having the cord touching the side of a heatsink cooler. Even if the cord is long enough i think it will touch just before it bends to enter the connection. How hot do the coolers get? hot enough to melt the rubber coatings on wires?
I also have an 8pin pci express cable which is slighly longer than the current one. Can I use that to power the mobo. Sorry im clueless on what can connect to what and the antec manual doesnt talk about this.
