Cables squashed in case, is that a fire hazard? HELP

Hello all,

I have recently brought a Lancool K62 case and I have installed all the cables and got it up and running. After everything was complete I did some cable management, feeding the cables through the pre-cut holes. I chose this case for the noise dampening and the material is stuck on the back plate. This leaves me less room for cables in the back and they are very squished in the back. I tried to give it the most room but i'm still convinced that I might get cable damage, components failing and maybe a fire hazard. Really don't want my PC up in flames when plating games. I have pulled the cables and there seems to be some room for it to move around. I have done quiet a good job and its looks really sexy, I just need advice on what I should do. There is about 3-6mm gap between the dampening materiel and the backplate of the mobo.
Is there things I should move away or cables that should not touch (EG: Fan cable on the back of the CPU socket).

Thanks

I really doubt it'll be an issue. Never had issues with my k62 (although I'd admit it wasn't sound deadened).

That said, I don't think I've ever heard of something like this happening, and I'm pretty sure that any decent PSU maker would have to make sure their cables wouldn't so this...

If the cables are not touching any moving objects such as fan blades they should be fine. Just avoid coiling cable up as it could cause induction.
