I need help with building my computer.

Do I have to plug in the smaller power cable on the motherboard? As you can see im having trouble getting it up to where it needs to go. If I do is there an extension I can buy or something?

Those cases, are a little challenge, when the PSU is at the bottom. You could get an extension, or just have it around the other way.

edit: Is that an 8-pin CPU power connector? I heard it's only necessary to provide enough stability, when running a quad core. I'm not 100% sure though. Wait for someone else to answer.

I would unplug all the cables and pull the far away connections first - later the shorter.

You will most likely NEED to use the processor power slot. In most cases, people who fail to do so risk harming their PC and most computers won't boot with it. And if you really can't go from the back, just go across the motherboard, one cable won't impede that much air. Its much better than spending $8.

And also, if I'm correct, that is the P180 case? Which doesn't have a window, so you won't see one wire going across the motherboard.

It'll haunt his subconscious forever though....knowing theres that one SINGLE cable thats "untidy"

yeah, I don't like those "up side down" cases

But yes just to be safe I would say you have to (learn from my mistakes)

I was able to get the cable to plug in. But it was a pain.
