Connecting your Case Front Panel connectors to your Motherboard 

I was having trouble with the front panel connectors and you were the one who helped me fix it. Thank you so much!!

Wow first guy who know's the real struggle for a newbie

I've been 5 hours disassembling the computer and reassembling it because it did not turn on, until I found this video i LOVE you

The arrows on the back mean that it's the positive side. This is the first video to explain that to me. I've seen 10 videos about these front panel connectors....omg thank you!!

If I had a teacher like you in school, computer science courses would have been more enjoyable.

I’ve been searching for an explanation on various sites for about 2 and a half hours with no break. This man. This severely underrated man has finally divulged information that I should’ve found on the first search. You my friend are getting a sub. I hope you still upload cause you’re teachings are much easier to follow

this video is a gem, 5 years later i come back to rewatch it for my second build

You are a good instructor. thanks for the plain english explanation.

Wow... you make this look so simple. If I need to do this I will for sure use your tutorial! Thank you for stopping by last night and showing my channel some love! I'm stopping by to return the love.

You've got yourself a new subscriber. I'm new to building PC's and most of the guides were just a bit too complex for me to understand. Your simple breakdown and easy to understand explanation has been a tremendous help to me. Thank you

All of the big tech RU-vidrs never go over this stuff, even though in my opinion it's. The hardest part of PC building. Thank you

Unplugged these cables to get easier access to the HDD bay and had them separate in my fingers. Not one plug but multiple that are tiny and ..... Anyway, everything done but no power. Figured one of the wires was connected to the on button but was concerned to plug into the wrong slot and possibly damage the motherboard. Then I found this video (MB instructions were useless) and thank you very much. Covered it step by step not missing any key instructions. Well done and thank you.

I consider my self a PC savy guy, but due to lack of funds in my life I have never fully build a PC. I used to buy prebuilds or fiddle with components, but not a whole PC. Recently I finally managed to get funds for my livelihood. Got a nice 1060 6G (was child's play to change it) and gonna go buy R5 2600x with an appropriate MoBo and new case with RAM and PSU. So this video will help me not to get lost among all those pins and cables which have to go to a motherboard.

Thank you so much I finally got it running, I couldn’t even turn it on, turns out I didn’t connect those tiny connectors properly. I appreciate your help

This may be three years old but as relevant today as ever. I can't think of anyone else who tackled this issue which can be very frustrating especially if your eyesight isn't what it used to be -- like me.

You're a life saver sir! Only video out there that got me out of my build nightmare. Subscribed and liked! Thank you!!!

Might seems stupid but i was ready to give up on building my first pc but you explain it very good thank you so much i hope you make other detailed videos that no other you tube channel takes it into consideration👏👏

I'm eternally grateful to folks who take the time and trouble to make these sorts of videos, which manufacturers can't be bothered to make. . .

I'm a 60 year old newbie building my first ever computer and your video was excellent. I just got my case yesterday and when I saw all of those wires, I thought to myself, there's no way I will be able to do this on my own. Your simple approach of teaching was perfect. Now I feel I can proceed with a lot less anxiety, thank you. I am not sure if you have done a video on setting up ARGB and RGB fans and light strips and AOI coolers but that would also be very helpful. I know there are a lot of other videos but unfortunately, many are way to advanced for beginners. AAA+++ my friend !

This literally saved my PC build, my first build. Ryzen 3 2200g

I just assembled a PC for the first time in over a decade and I have to say, the case connections to the motherboard remains the most difficult part and archaic as hell. The CPU has thankfully evolved to remove the pins that you had to try hard as hell not to bend, so I'm glad to see some improvement. I'm sure the cluster of pins on the motherboard that let you connect your case to your motherboard are basically all the same, so how about an adapter I can put on the motherboard and some easier way to connect those stupid little connectors?

Hey look it’s a guy who understands that people that are new to this and is able to explain in depth. Thank you. I love listening to your voice as well it makes me happy. I don’t know why, it just does. Thanks

Thank you very much! I am building my first Desktop PC and I almost gave up, cause I couldn't figure out what the positive side of the case Power SW Connector etc.... and then, thank God, I found this Video!!! is.... So, thank you and greetings from Cologne, Germany!💯

Such a clean explanation. Some other youtubers should learn from you.

Ahh, the front panel connectors!!! The newer cabinets are helpful and label things, just as long as the main board book has everything easy to understand, I am good - otherwise it is a hunting expedition! Watching and Supporting - LIKING another video!

Finally. You are my hero. All the other build guides just skip over this

First man to properly explain how to connect wires, even a year later it helped me.

Dennis, I love that chair you sit in! Great video! I want to learn to build a computer so it's interesting to see this! Thumbs up!!!!

You explained simply and interesting! this is very helpful! Thank you! :)

This is the first video to actually show where and how to connect them! All the other ones just explain but not good enough. Thank you!

This is literally the toughest part of building a PC, thanks Dennis you’ve always got what we need!

Bless your old heart

Watching, listening and liking my friend. have a great day.

i was stuck. Thanks to your video i solved my issue in 5 minutes. All videos should be clear like yours

Holy shit this guy must be a teacher. He may be the greatest instructor I have ever come across on RU-vid. He is slow clear and patient. If you are building a PC and you are a beginner you absolutely must subscribe to this guy amazing.

THANK YOU SIR! After trying for weeks literally, & watching at least 20+ different video tutorials 3 X'z each on the subject matter, NONE were as concise, precise, to the point, & CLEAR with no If & 's or what's period. I FINALLY was able to see success after only my FIRST TRY after watching your outstanding tutorial. The others where CONFUSING & NOT SHOWING THE DETAIL NEEDED TO FULLY UNDERSTAND how to go about connecting the panel correctly to the mobo. Not to mention that I have an OLDER mobo from 2012. So there's no clear & apparent + - pin MARKER signs on my mobo. However. The ONLY words that I could read (with a magnifying glass at that lol smh) were where the HDD LED pin connector went. But that was enough to put 2 & 2 together & I found the rest of my way fairly expeditiously!! What I did was DRAW an exact DIAGRAM on a scrap piece of paper so when I turned my PC off I still had your visual graph to fall back on. & I must say that It worked like a CHARM ahah lol. Almost seamlessly. So I appreciate your passion & SIMPLISTIC, logical, not so common expertise bkz boy I'll tell ya, some of these content creators will have you on a wild goose chase only to end up nowhere, where you started, or even worst before lol Now on to the next problem. Trying to clone my HDD & migrate the data to (Samsung Evo 870) SSD but he data migration software isn't working. I tried a free alternative that I heard good things about to do the data migration but I've ran into a road block with that as well My SSD is BRAND NEW, never used, so I don't know what seems to be the problem. I have decent enough specs (I5 2500K CPU, 16 GB ram, 500GB HD, RX 580 GPU, 1TB SSD, 750W Gold+ battery etc) ... Not that the majotiy of the described has anything to do with data migration lol, but just to say I have PLENTY operating system power & then some. It's something with the SSD's partitions or something to that effect where It's not just copying the HDD partitions If I could get that done I'd boost my PC 5 X'z It is now, & also be able to use my new RX 580 GPU that I can't use bkz It's for use with Win XP, 7, 10 OS. I have Win 8.1, but I was going to upgrade to Win10 bkz I have a free upgrade. & Although I wished I could keep W 8.1 (bkz It's my fav) I am kind of burnt out on It It's just time bkz as a Music producer most of the software is being programmed for Win10/11. So I'm mixing out on technological advancements not having Win10 or better. The cons finally out weighted the pros so to speak lol. I'm missing way too much more in performance now using Win 8.1 sadly! So hopefully this starts of a trickle of GOOD LUCK now that I have my front panel power working fully correctly due to your astute directions. Thanks again Brother & have a blessed day!!! Gonna subscribe to just bkz you sold this very HARD problem & made It simplified, done simply in seconds fax!!

I’ll try to stay active as much as I can and hopefully you’ll do the same 👍✌🏻

I greatly appreciate the "little arrow" part. That could be a life saver for me. Stay tuned for my update after I try!

GREAT VIDEO. Had one mistake on the power side when connecting the power switch. You did put the positive on the negative. But this video helped me understanding where to put the cables and to see that little mistake. So thank you. Im going to say you did that on purpose for a test

Thanks - especially for the comment about the tiny triangular arrows on the front panel to the MB power pins connection. On Mini or micro form factor motherboards the diagram is often not printed on the MB ( not enuf space ) . It's only down by the pins and only the + is indicated - fine when the leads are individual but when paired & the MB is already installed in 'really tight cases' those Power Sw & Reset Sw connectors can be really hard to distinguish for bad (or older) eyesight, fat fingers, and especially when the triagular arrows on the backside are Black on Black & the Manual diagram shows only the + connection. Yeah, the connector can fit in the right spot, but it's easy to reverse as it isn't 'keyed' like the USB3 connector or Main power connector. Thanks again for the completely Thorough explanation with clear close video. Old guy who only does a build every 4 or 5 yrs !

So many details, this video made it a breeze for me to install all of the case cables properly on my motherboard. As a first time builder this video was a must see !

Dude you're a lifesaver!!! Right now I'm doing my first ever build and I was really having a hard time figuring out where these connected to! Thank you!!!

Yo i dont know if you still check out your old videos and read the comments, but you truly help me out here with my issue I couldnt figure out how to turn my computer on after installing an h100i pro for 2 hours!!!! But after watching your video i fixed it within 10 minutes so thank you for the tremendous help my man i appreciate it!

This is one of the best tutorial on this argument i ever saw. Nice video!

I was this close to giving up but this video got me back on track! Thank you

Brilliant , this was worrying me more than anything else . Building my first pc this weekend so I will bear this in mind . Thanks so much

I am building a PC for the first time today and this video is incredibly helpful. Thanks!!!

I'm going to build my 1st pc soon and it always confused me where to connect the cables also haven't seen anyone rly explain it thank you so much for explaining it so well I finally understood how to do it! 🙏

Thank you for explaining this in a clear and concise manner. Fixed my problem as I was listening to the video.

The Best tutorial around!!!!! I was having trouble and was scare of the front panel since is the first PC i build, your tutorial let me know how to do it! thank you a lot!

Thank you for making this with new builders in mind. Good work.

You're a champion. I've got a Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H mobo and the power button on the Thermaltake H22 Case is getting a bit sticky, so I have bought an external power button which I may connect. It's an eight to nine year old PC so whilst I will be careful I am not overly bothered if it dies.

Thanks man. Makes it clearer and less intimidating.

Thanks so much, my system wouldn’t post and it was my first time building a computer and I plugged these in wrong and that was after I called asus and complained about my dead mobo. And it booted perfectly. 10/10

dude ive been searching for how to connect my power sw forever thanks much.

Thanks for the good info and not beating around the bush. 👍

Thanks about dropping that comment about the little arrow. That was super helpful.

Thank you so much. Glad that my mother board is Asus so it's easy to just follow these instructions.

tyvm, every mother board is different but you explained it perfectly.

O M G... Thank you so much. Just joined the PC master race & was installing my ssd and decided to do some cable management pulled out the JFP1 without knowing how to put it back in. Thank you again very helpful guide for a novice builder!!!!!

Thank you gor this vid, I was scared I shorted out my build until watching this video. Much Thanks!!!!!

Thanks I couldn't figure out which one was negative or positive because there are 2 that have no sign of positive or negative this help alot 🤗 first time building my pc

Wow someone actually helping out with the front penal connectors thank you

Thanks you very much i accidentally unplugged these while changing my psu and ur the only one who helped

Thank you! Also, look for the colored square on the Gigabyte motherboards. That helped me find it and you ROCK!!

Thanks a lot. you are the only one on youtube who actually explains this in depth.

you are a legend man, i was so confused and without ur tutorial my pc wouldnt be working, thank you so much

Didn’t know bubbles quit Trailer park boys. Great video

This has given me the confidence to actually want to build a pc! Thank you!

Extremely descriptive video, thanks for supporting us newbs

Fine tutorial! I am about to replace the mobo on my gaming rig and this helps immensely. Plus I think if a guy who has a boomerang on his wall knows what he is talking about!

Thanks for the encouragement, I was gettin' like I used to when I first started building and learned to make this a priority.

thanks Denis! saved me lots of stress. Simple and easy explanation that was up to date and even relates to old mother boards.

At last. Explained so it can all be understood!

Really helpful, surprised a lot of people don't really cover this.

i was having trouble with everything.. im bout to build a pc and this video helped me alot thx

Thank you very much for your help, you are very good teacher you explained it so anyone could understand.

This is really great and helpful. You showed it with too much patience, which is great.

Really helpful video my man, now Im 1 hundred percent confident about what Im doing connecting these front panels

This couldn't of been more helpful 😃

Great practical and straightforward info.

I couldn't figure this one out on my Asus rogue motherboard but thanks it worked on my other pc 👍

Thanks Saved My Life just builded my dream pc 9700k and 2070 super

Omg thank you so much!! I’ve had my pc for 6 years and had to swap case, gpu, and cpu cooler. I no longer have my msi x88a g45 motherboard so this was awesome!

Thank you ordered 1000$ for a gaming pc and this is the part i know I’m going to have trouble with

Thanks so much, only video that actually explains it well and makes it easy to follow. 😄

I do wish that AMD and the motherboard manufacturers would get together and make all of these front panel pins into one plug. It would save us all so much time and headache.

Great video. I wish I knew more about technology! I’m learning 😀

This dude just saved my life

I struggled for over a month becasuse my front panel LED's were not turning on. Guess what? :) I didn't even plug them all the way in. Thanks for the video.

Omg thank you so much I would have never gotten this far without you ❤️

For all the egotistical experts out there-this is how you make a tutorial. Finally someone who is able to get into the nitty gritty of a computer build. Anyone can snap in the hardware, but then what? My build came to a complete halt before finally finding this vid. Thank you and I hit subscribe!

thank you so so so so so much after like an hour of trial and error your video finally helped me

You are the best I got my computer to work now

l never new about those little arrows. you saved my ass.

U are awesome teacher

Thank you! This solved the very first road block I hit. Now I feel like an idiot due to how obvious it was, haha.

Very clear explanation. Nicely done video. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this video; i am trying to build a PC for the first time... (i have some experience from upgrading random parts over the years) but as i have been waiting on my motherboard to be delivered, i have been getting a little worried about this part of it. Thanks again for putting this out there and making it clearly understandable!!

Omg thank you so so so much for this video. This helped me alot and i have been looking all aver youtube and found you. Thank you so much now i have my computer thatci built ready. Thank you!!!!!!!
