    Cable Routing

    I am looking to tidying up my Power/Data/Control cables in my PC and have the option of running some of them underneath the motherboard.

    Does anyone have any advice about this. I am thinking

    too hot
    electrical interference etc



    Thanks,

    Make sure the cables are insulated, and any joints or connections covered with heat shrink.

    I've been using this method for a while with no probs so far!

    You can always put a plastic sheet between the cables and the board to be on the safe side
