Sata wires or others, under MOBO for long term?

Dear All,

I have built a few rigs for a 3 years now but have a question about the wiring.

Can I run/store the HD SATA and other cables under the MOBO as it is on standoffs? (If they reach of course.) Simply speaking, I just cannot wire clean enough for a particular rig and didn't know if the MOBO gets too hot or if there is a particular danger in running wires behind it for daily use.

Any thoughts welcome, Thanks.

I have fan cables and the CPU power cable running under mine without problems.

There's nothing on the underside of the motherboard that is going to get too hot to cause problems.
