Hello,

I just recieved my new MSI Z77 MPower motherboard, along with a Cooler Master StormTrooper case.

Everything works perfectly fine except for a few things:
1. I have this 2-pin connector coming from the front of the case, but I have nowhere to insert it. Neither the motherboard, nor the PSU has any slot for it.

2. The two side/front fans are not working, probably for the reason above. Here's an image. It's the two fans to the right of the image.

3. The power/reset LED's do not work.

Note that this cable is the only cable I have that haven't been connected to the motherboard/PSU.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Tom.

The fans are connected to each other pretty much and then goes to the front panel and are connected to that place. Then there's that cable I stated in my thread that are not connected to anything which I think provides power to the entire front panel, which in turn provides power to the two fans.

I came across that same issue a while back. That cable is an extra for LED control. Just how you can control the two fan LED lights in front, you can attach an add on fan with LED. Hope this helps!
