It took me 4 days to see why my computer wasn’t working and this video got it turned on your the man thank you so much
what was wrong?
Probably wrong insert in smth@@George-um2vc
probably had them in the wrong spot, like i did..
So basically this vid is useless as u failed to mention exactly how the power and reset hook up. Do they go opposite as top one has + on left and bottom has + on right ? Cause the mother board doesn't show what is + or - on the maximus dark hero and I'm waiting till I see someone show exactly what way before I turn it on. Maybe make a update video.
@@mattg2596 try find it in the manual that you hopefully got with it, trust me! :)
This helped me loads! My sister helped me make my first pc but recently i adjusted a few things and was scared I broke something since it no longer turned on. But checking this and the markings helped me put the cables in the right spot! Its up and running again.
Excellent. Glad to help!
I’m saving this to my “for my pc” playlist, for when ever I buy the parts to build my first pc. I’m 13 and plan to save up 1200 dollars 💪💪💪💪

Thank you. I've got lots more to come.
I am used to the old separate little wires. Recently, I upgraded to a 011 VISION Envision case, and it came with an F-PANEL wire🤔. Omg...I look everywhere for the little wires. You save me from sending back this gorgeous case. Thank you⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
Great stuff 😂
i have a smart f-panel but my computer doesn't work, is it because the mobo might not be compatible? so I need a extension?@@TheProvokedPrawn
The Hyte cases use the F-Panel which is nice, don't have to worry about those other cables
Brother you saved my life again. Your videos are the best when you just build some PC and you don't understand something :D thanks
Glad I could help Christian :)
I was looking to find where is plus and where is ground on power and reset connectors and i found it in your video. Thank You. Was afraid to connect it wrong because it could short if case buttons share same little board. Thank you again. Have a great day.
Didnt know these pins had - + configurations, was wondering why my pc would not fully power on. Thank you!
Literally just saved my problem. Thank you bro! Subscribed and like, the least I can do.

My reset SW cord has purple and white which one would be the plus and negative thanks bro
swap the pwr and reset cables I guess, you want to boot the system with the reset button than thats fine :P
Lol, I was going crazy I thought I misunderstood something 😂
❤ thank god the pc is running again
it would be nice if you had some info linked on the adapters and maybe replacement cables when a case hasn't got them.
My nzxt case has one connecter instead of all the little ones im happy now i can use that instead. Thnx for great video. Never had a case that had one piece for header connecter.
It is much easier
Bonkers this was the hardest part of building my first pc
Hope I helped

Excellent video. Very helpful for my first build. Im using a Corsair 4000D case. These connectors seem really “loose” on the plugs when connected. Like they could fall off easily with minimal movement or vibration. Especially the single power LED wire ones. Thoughts? Suggestions?
Yeah they are like that sometimes
@@Connor-zb4uo Gotcha. Thanks. Seems to be working properly at least.
@@randyczerviski8903 I just finished putting together my second pc like 10 minutes ago and mine are really lose on this case which is a coolermaster. My first pc build was on a 4000d corsair and didnt seem too lose but lose enough that if they got snagged they would pop out. Its just the weird design of the cables I guess
Gotcha. Thanks. Yea my buddies seemed to be that way but everything is working good so all should be good. I really appreciate the feed back! Thanks again. @@Connor-zb4uo
Super helpful. Thx!

Thanks man👍
U r a living legend
My reset switch is already plugged my case. Maybe because of the built in fans? I cant find a video anywhere on pc cases with fans already in them
HELP! in my case i have a single F_panel cable, i’ve found the placement on the mobo for it but the pins don’t align?. The pin that’s closed of is on the wrong side of the cable with no way to flip it into the correct spot 🙏🤦🏽
same here don't know what to do
Very helpful thanks alot
You're welcome!
hey my pc is dell 7050 micro, i cant seen to find those pins on the manual
THANK YOU OMG 🥹🥹 my pc wouldn’t turn on and i was freaking out but turns out i forgot to plug in the power, reset cable bc i didn’t know how 😅
Glad I could help!

thank you so much💓💓
These cables and the io shield. Both of them are the most difficult parts of building a PC. If you can master the skill of installing them with ease, your PC is built 50% there
I dont have the h.d.d led cable, can someone help on how to plug in reset sw? I only have an led sw cable
Thank you so much bro

Thank you, friendly prawn :)
My pleasure 😊
Duty adapter it’s a live saver 😀
I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH
Yes why are these plugs and markings so small and the manuals are always in a very small feint font.
And the printing on the mother board is hard to read as well
I'd love to buy one of those adaprtor plugs that you mention. But I cannot find one. Do you have a brand name or model ? or a link ?
It would make it easier.
Are all motherboards pins the same ?
Yeah I hate how small the text is, Just try to plug them in outside the case and put the mobo in and shove the wires somewhere or have someone with good eyes do it
Thank you sooo Much!
You're welcome
Omg is it that easy haha thx
Do you know what to do if i turn my pc on and it truns on, but my monitor and mouse and keyboard cant connect?
omg thank you so much bro
You're welcome!
TYSM❤
Can u please tell where to connect case fans. I’m using phanteks G500A and i connected almost everything except one full 3 pin connector and a 3 and one missing point connector. They both are from case fans and idk where to plug them..
sys FAN headers on the motherboard. You can see some examples here I think th-cam.com/video/mPRrPGjV_jo/w-d-xo.html
@@TheProvokedPrawnthe 3 pin one is a daisy chained cable.. it’s more like 3 fans connection got connected into one 3 pin daisy chainable cable.. i’m confused
Can you help me out please I connected everything my pc turns on and all but it won’t let me turn it off
i copy the orientation of the hdd led. i put the right + and - on power led (as same + and - in the mobo). the hdd led has light but my power button don't have. what should i do?
flip the plugs upside down they could be backwards
Is it really that easy because I was confused at first because my case has a front panel usb all in one like shown in the video while my motherboard is not standardized for the connector
Thx man love from iraq
Why do we have 2 pled one opposite to hdd and one opposite to speaker
I have connected power led pin but it is showing led light on lift sise of power button
Problem is my B650M doesnt have it labeled like that at all so im still stuck...i have no idea where to plug in, thanks anyways
I didn’t receive Hdd led cable, there should have been?
Thanks i removed all cables to clean my pc, when i needed to reassemble it i got stuck with the frond panel connectors 😂. however my motherboard i a little older so it lookt a little Different, i hoop i dit it correctly but we will see when i turn it on😂
Thanks man
No problem. Hope you appreciated enough to sub!
Did you connect reset and pwr sw switched? Or am i doing it wrong?
yes he did connect to reset button 🤣
Life saver
Thank you
You're welcome
I have a problem when i switch on the cpu it turns on and also the keyboard turns on but the mouse and monitor doesnt turn on Also when i press my cpu button to turn it off it doesnt work
What is the adapter called
This is what pc is all about.
I have a speaker when i put it in it makes noises
I dont have that on my motherboard
ME TOO I HAVE TO SWITCH MY MOTHERBOARD ON THE NEW CASE BUT MY MOTHERBOARD HAS POWER ON 1 SIDE AND LHD LED ON OTHER SIDE
My motherboard is different and it does not have plus or minus on it
Motherboard dosent have reset sw i think😢now what i do
i regret didn't search online, i don't know what's happened to me yesterday, all wrong inserted and then computer won't start anymore, is motherboard damaged or what now ?? :((
You mention there are adapters... can you link some that are gonna make this 900x less tedious lol. I see *some* but it involves... doing this same process, so like what's the point of the adapter lol
Probably so you don't have to fiddle around inside the case and can prepare it before hand.
my PRO Z790-P WIFI motherboard looks nothing like yours. It has nothing labeled "power", "PWR", "reset", "RST", not does it have any + or - on it.
I've spent 4 hours trying to figure out where to plug my Corsair 5000D Airflow case's reset & power plugs with no progress.
I want to die.
I unplugged my Power SW cable to clean the PC and to swap GPUs, and now even though the PC has power. The power button on the case doesn’t work. I have done this so many times, and this is the 1st time it doesn't want to turn on. I have checked all cables about 10 times. Everything is correct. I should've never unplugged it. Man, im pissed.
What if the reset sw wire is broken?
Reset switch isn't essential. Don't connect it and just restart via windows rather than a case button. Some cases don't even have that cable.
I do not have a reset switch do I need that?
did you figure it out??
well my pc turns on but it turns off after 2sec
What if you put them wrong in??
At 03:25, didn't you plug the power into the reset?
yes i was looking for this comment.
Too bad this doesn't apply to the Hyte 70Y touch, they are wired differently
mine doesn’t even have that chord on both my cases
Really?
@@TheProvokedPrawn yeah on both my cases it has all the other attached chords except the panel one my ex built my pc so I’m learning about everything little by little but everything was working fine in the old case I had and that one didn’t have the panel chord either
can i skip reset switch connection
I don't want to reset my pc accidently by pressing that button
Sure
Can you answer me please ? I have a question ! 😢
In my case there is no markings so I have to guess?
Check your motherboard manual
@@TheProvokedPrawn Cannot find it... It is 5y old PC... I will prolly have to throw it away, cuz i live on the island so if you cannot fix it at home it is just not worth it to ship it away... A bit more then 1000€ (that was a lot back then) I live in Hvar (Croatia)
And I have 14 holes... d33c20 rohs motherboard... Cannot even find online manual. It is the black/silver and it has only 2 slots for memory. 5 years of data... Of unfinished games... I am working on this all night long, tryed all combinations...
So fiddly, hope other case makers copy NZXT one on done connector.
