    (4) 8-pin is called the EPS12V.
    But have you tried running it under the mobo (behind the backplate)? Then out at the top, over the mobo? That's how I ran mine.

    Main (gaming) rig: i7-3930K; Asus Rampage IV Extreme; H100 W/p-p Excaliburs, AS5; MSI 7870 2GD5/OC; Crucial M4 SSD 256GB.
    See my primary ModsRigs: Adam for the rest, and I have a second (wife's) rig Asus Rampage III Extreme & 960: Eve.

    How much longer you think you need? Look for the EPS extenders,and run it underneath the MB . Or if you have a wire management hole above the MB,would work well. http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g2/c413/s1214/list/p1/Cables-PSU_Cables-12V_EPS_Extensions-Page1.html
