Hi everyone,

I built my first system not too long ago and ran into a problem that is bugging me with my case. I got the NZXT Source 210 Elite and when it came time to hook up power to the CPU, I was hoping I could route the cable around the back and then plug it in from the front. However, I noticed that the actual connector was too large to fit through the small hole (my motherboard was not blocking anything). What I ended up having to do is just plug the cable in front of the motherboard, which just doesn't look very good.

I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and what they did to resolve it. I was looking at possibly getting an extension that would hopefully be thin enough but I wasn't sure if that would work or which cable would actually be that thin.

On cases with that issue, I try to route the cable neatly under the gap below the gfx card. If your PSU cable isn't too thick, that is.
If your MB only has a 4 pin CPU power header, you might be able to use an extention like this and the 4 pin may be small enough to fit the small opening.

My motherboard has an 8-pin connector so I would have to route it around the GPU, which doesn't look as bad as before at least. Thank you!
