Hello YoYoJoe

I thank you for the feedback on our power supply sticky and will try to investigate or at the least insert some kind of statement to identify the need for abnormally long power supply leads

I was somewhat shocked by your problem actually >>>>> I am running a Seasonic M12-700 watt with a full tower case the leads are more than long enough as I have a hard drive mounted at the extreme top of the case as well as two hard drives sitting in a homemade drive cage on the floor of my case ???????

I build and repair alot of computers as a hobbist / additional income -semi serious PC shop I have not run into your situtation before with a standard case ?

I am curious as hell; what is the make and model of your case ?

I own full tower cases such as the Coolermaster T01 which can have a power supply mounted both in the floor of the case or in the customary position >>>>> the thermaltake toughpower and corsair TX-750 watt had no trouble accomodating both mounting positions >>>>>> have tried it both way when I was experimenting with case temperatures

I have spliced extensions on power supply leads before with soldering iron and heat shrink sealant when I was installing power supplies on the exterior of a case before>>>>>. this was a stubborn customer who didnt want to pay for a new case nor did he want to pay the high prices of micro atx power supplies

anyway ....... thanks for the feedback and hope to hear what you have for a case ???????

by chance could you give us an approxiamate length on your main motherboard wire bundle ??????
