Hello everyone, I successfully connected my Asus Thor 850w CPU using an 8 + 4 pin cable through the front of my build. I have a ROG Strix Helios case, but the cable is too short for the back side. My issue is finding an 8+4 pin extension cable that fits through the back of my case. I only see 8 pin extensions available on Amazon. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for your time. Stay safe!

You can locate 4+4 pin cable extensions, but only utilize half of them as per your system configuration. I’m unsure if there are specialized 4 pin options available.

You're likely fine without those additional pins unless you're pushing performance beyond normal limits.
