Default Wiring Questions.. :)

Im looking at alot of screen with people posting their wiring jobs and so forth..

Running cable under their mobo's and such.. how do you fit a 20+4pin wrap of wires unthe the mobo??? I just cant see it fitting lol. Is it safe for say sata wires to be touching the back of the Mobo?

Sorry if these sound... noobish.. im just old school.. dont want my wires to melt or burn like they used to.

Thank

Electrical tape on the end of any wire will be safe. Just cover any exposed end.

I think the way they do it is to cut a hole for the cable pass behind the mobo tray (but between the outer case panel) and a second hole near to where the cable needs to go

If the wires are flattened out, it is possible to fit all 24 wires underneath the motherboard as well. The wires have some heat resistence so it is fine.
