safe to run wires UNDER the mobo?

The wires from the top of my case to the bottom of the mobo are pretty tight already, but from a cabling advantage it would also be good to route these.

These are wires that have a soft plastic sheath around them for extra protection. Would it be a good or bad idea to run them under the mobo (between mobo and back of case)??

Thanks

It'll be fine. Just be careful that you don't put the cables near anything sharp or you could get a short.

In order to help prevent that, use some black electrician's tape or duct tape to tape down the cables behind the mobo once you have them in position. Works fine.
