Can you get an extention cable for the power lead for the mobo?
I have extenders for the 4 pin power leads from the psu but not for the 24 pin one for the main board.
Can you get extention for it?
I realy need one, i have the CM HAF case and the psu is mounted at the base and the lead doesn't reach!
Thanks.

Are you using the worlds biggest case with the worlds smallest PSU?

Or is it that your cable management has worked too well and not left enough slack? I've never had a cable not reach, jus had cables that I've had to rethink where I was going to run them.

J.B. is probably right - there is probably a work around - though these problem are cropping up more and more with bottom mounted PSU's.

Have you tried running the wire under the end of the Gfx card?

Pics might help

got an xtention today for ocuk, got a train and skated there lol, took an age but got it.
It was a mix, i ave awsom cable management skills going on in this case and its also coz its bottom mounted in a coolermaster HAF and that one cable from the psu is quite short for sum reason.
