Mucho props for the guys that helped me out with the cooler. That thing was a pain

So I have the NZXT Phantom 410, and a lot of plugs are spitting out of this thing. The Motherboard manual isn't very helpful with which plugs are which, looking at the motherboard I see some labeling but again, not as helpful, the NZXT cables just have random crap on them but nothing specific. And then my powersupply (XFX Pro 850w Black edition), has labeling on the connections like, "MB/PCIE, MB/CPU", (cause it needs two Mobos apparently).

All the manuals these things came with suck! And the nzxt didn't even come with a manual! Somebody help me out.
 
Solution
Front panel = where all the wires for power, reset, hdd, power led will get plugged int
LED= front power LED (this lights up if your computer is turn on)
HD LED= HDD status led, blinks where there is HDD activity
Reset= reset switch
Power= power switch.
If you plug it wrong, say Power LED does not light up, or switch does not work, then just flip it over.

Well... I guess I am having trouble finding them on the motherboard... And the Powersupply labels two as "MB/PCIE" and "MB/CPU" so that kind of threw me off

I've googled for about two hours. I can't figure out these last "front panel," led" "hd led" lights. They are tiny. So confused
